Amid uncertainty over who will hoist the national flag during the official Delhi government function on Independence Day, the General Administration Department (GAD) said Tuesday CM Arvind Kejriwal, who is in jail in a corruption case, cannot authorise minister Atishi to do so on his behalf.
GAD Minister Gopal Rai on Monday directed the department to make arrangements for Atishi to unfurl the flag as per the CM "desires". Responding to the minister`s communication, GAD additional chief secretary Navin Kumar Chaudhary said the CM`s direction is "legally invalid and cannot be acted upon".
