The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took a dig at Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi for giving the Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort a miss. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya took on the leaders of the opposition party by questioning their absence at the ceremonious event and calling it “unusual”.

Malviya took to Twitter to express his concern for the leaders’ absence on Thursday saying, that even though Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi gave the Independence Day celebration held at Red Fort a miss, the country did not even blink an eye. He also called their absence 'unusual'.
