Summary: The Mamata Banerjee-led Bengal government's proposal for a tableau for this year's Republic Day parade has been rejected by the expert committee, which selects the proposals from the state governments and Union Territories. The Trinamool Congress has reacted sharply to it, terming it discriminatory. Several leaders of the TMC have linked this development to Mamata Banerjee's staunch opposition to the citizenship law and citizens list NRC. Maharashtra government's tableau has also been rejected.
