Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge missed today's Independence Day 2023 celebrations at the Red Fort in Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on the occasion of 77th I-Day. Amid the air about his absence, now,  Mallikarjun Kharge has come forward to tell why he did not attend Independence Day 2023 celebration. Kharge said that he did not attend the function due to security reasons. He also told the media that one of the reasons he missed the I-Day celebrations was he had eye-related problem. Continuing, he said, "I had to hoist the Tricolour at my residence at 9.20 am as per protocols. Then I had to come to the Congress office and hoist the Tricolour here too. So, I could not have reached here. The security is so tight that they don't let anyone else leave before the PM leaves. I thought that I will not be able to reach here on time. I thought it better to not go there to security situation and lack of time."
