"It is sad": AAP's Swati Maliwal over Punjab, Delhi tableaux not featured at R-Day parade

New Delhi [India], January 26 (ANI): Former Chairperson of the Delhi Commission for Women and AAP Rajya Sabha candidate Swati Maliwal expressed disappointment over the tableaux of Punjab and Delhi not featured at the Republic Day parade on Friday.
Maliwal in a post on X, highlighted the significant themes the tableaux suggested to portray and remarked, "It is sad that there are no tableaux of Punjab and Delhi in the Republic Day parade."
"While the tableau of Delhi gives the message of the importance of education, the tableau of Punjab, the land of brave martyrs, pays respect to the immortal revolutionaries," Maliwal said in her post.

गणतंत्र दिवस की परेड में पंजाब और दिल्ली की झांकियाँ ना होना दुखद है।

जहां दिल्ली की झांकी शिक्षा की अहमियत का संदेश देती है वहीं वीर शहीदों की भूमि पंजाब की झांकी अमर क्रांतिकारियों को सम्मान देती है।

The AAP leader further expressed hope for both states that they would be featured next year.
"Hopefully next time the tableaux of both the states will be seen on Republic Day," she posted.
A total of 25 tableaux, including 16 from various States and Union territories and 9 from central government departments, were on display at the Republic Day parade.
According to a Ministry of Defence statement, the Punjab and West Bengal, tableaux did not align with the "broader themes" of this year's tableau. (ANI)
