bhaigan Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Days after the central government rejected the tableaux proposed by Kerala and West Bengal for the upcoming Republic Day parade, the Defence Ministry on Monday, 17 January, refused to include Tamil Nadu's tableau in the celebrations. An expert committee comprising eminent persons from various disciplines of art shortlists the tableaux for the parade. While there is a well-established system for the selection of the tableaux, the process becomes a flashpoint for the play of regional politics nearly every year. Meanwhile, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has written to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee amid the row, asserting that the selection of the tableaux for the Republic Day parade is done as per detailed guidelines. Earlier on Tuesday, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman took to Twitter to explain the procedure behind the selection of tableaux as well. Kerala Hits Back After Centre Rejects Tableau Depicting Anti-Caste Leader The Defence Ministry's rejection of Kerala's proposal to depict anti-caste social reformer, Narayana Guru, and tourism centre, Jatayu Park, has been met with retaliation. The central government had reportedly suggested that the tableau carry a statue of Adi Shankara instead, which was not acceptable to the Kerala government. "Sree Narayana Gurudevan is universally accepted and respected by all sections of society, including political parties like the Congress, the BJP and the Communist Party. Although Adi Shankara was a great man, he was accepted only by a section of people in Kerala. Gurudev, on the other hand, is revered by people all across the world, regardless of caste or religion." "The central govt’s decision to deny permission to Kerala's Republic Day tableau, which contained anti-caste crusader Narayana Guru’s figure, is extremely condemnable. The Kerala BJP must state whether they agree with this insulting attitude towards Kerala's Guru [sic]," state Minister V Sivankutty tweeted. 'Tableau Rejected Without Reason, Justification': Mamata Banerjee to PM Modi "I am profoundly shocked and hurt by the decision of the Government of India to abruptly exclude the proposed tableau of the Government of West Bengal from the ensuing Republic Day Parade. It is even more baffling for us that the tableau was rejected without assigning any reasons or justifications," West Bengal Chief Mamata Banerjee had written in a letter to PM Modi on Sunday. 'Expert Committee Ignored All 7 Designs': Tamil Nadu CM Stalin Writes to PM Modi Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, on Monday, wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to question the exclusion of the state's tableau from the Republic Day parade. "The rejection of Tamil Nadu's tableau, that included freedom fighters VOC, Mahakavi Bharathiyar, Rani Velu Nachiyar, and Maruthu Brothers, from the Republic Day Parade is disappointing. I ask that the respected Prime Minister intervene immediately and ensure that Tamil Nadu's contribution to the freedom struggle is given a place [in the parade]," Stalin said.
