PRIME MINISTER TO MISS REPUBLIC DAY CELEBRATIONS


WE SHOULD PRAY FOR OUR PRIME MINISTER WHEN WE CELEBRATE REPUBLIC DAY


When the nation celebrates the Republic Day on Monday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will be recuperating from a bypass surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).
The Prime Minister traditionally goes to Amar Jawan Jyoti, the martyrs memorial at India Gate, before the start of Republic Day parade every year to place a wreath.
He also receives the President at the Republic Day parade.
Prior to the Republic Day, the Prime Minister also gives away Bravery Awards. In the Prime Minister's absence, the conferments were done by Vice President Hamid Ansari.
External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee is expected to discharge the duties of the Prime Minister during Singh's absence from office. Mukherjee has already been asked to look after Finance portfolio, which is with the Prime Minister, till Singh recovers.
