Rahul Gandhi's Seating Sparks Outrage: Congress Slams BJP Over LoP Protocol

Rahul Gandhi’s attendance as the Leader of Opposition at the Independence Day event at Red Fort has sparked controversy over his seating arrangement. Despite protocol dictating that the LoP, with a rank equivalent to a Cabinet Minister, be seated in the front row, Rahul was placed in the fifth row, behind Olympic medalists, Union Ministers, and CJI Chandrachud. Congress leaders have criticized the move, calling it disrespectful to democratic traditions. Comparisons have been drawn to past events where LoPs like Sonia Gandhi and LK Advani were seated prominently. The row over Rahul's seating continues to escalate.
