Difference between Sonia Mainos Italian thought and Arun Jaitley jis Bhaaratiya sanskaars. . /// Reserved seats When they were leaders of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha respectively in the last regime, Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj had to suffer the humiliation of being placed in the fourth or fifth row at the Independence Day flag-hoisting ceremony at Red Fort. They were seated behind all the ministers in Manmohan Singh’s Cabinet. . When on one occasion Swaraj had protested, Ghulam Nabi Azad had tried to mollify her by offering her a vacant seat meant for a minister’s wife. This had only added insult to the injury. . As Defence Minister, it is Jaitley who has to vet the seating arrangement for the coming Independence Day function. And instead of paying the Congress back in its own coin, he has ensured that Azad, who is now Opposition Leader in the Rajya Sabha, is accommodated in a prominent position at the event. L K Advani, who was placed in the second row in the UPA government, has now been elevated to the front row. The same courtesy has been extended to Sonia Gandhi. /// See more at: indianexpress/article/opinion/columns/inside-track-powerful-addition/#sthash.soeaLGvS.dpuf
