Atishi to hoist flag at I-Day event, CM Kejriwal writes to L-G Saxena

Jailed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written to the Lieutenant Governor, saying Cabinet minister Atishi will hoist the national flag in his place at the Delhi government’s Independence Day function, the AAP said on Wednesday, even as the L-G office denied receiving any communication.

The BJP hit out at Kejriwal over the issue, pointing out that according to the national flag protocol, only the chief minister can hoist the tricolor and said the AAP supremo should make Atishi chief minister by resigning from the post.
Kejriwal is lodged in Tihar jail in connection with a CBI case linked to the alleged excise policy scam. He has been granted interim bail by the Supreme Court in the excise policy-linked money laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate.
