This special report of ‘To The Point’ with Preeti Choudhry examines the political flashpoints of India’s 77th Republic Day. The program highlights the ‘Operation Sindoor’ display at the Kartavya Path parade and the conferment of the Ashok Chakra upon Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla. Chaudhary facilitates a debate between BJP’s Professor Rakesh Sinha and Congress’s Vivek Tankha regarding the seating of Opposition leaders and the narrative of the Constitution being ‘under threat.’ The discussion extends to the alleged ‘electionization’ of the Padma Awards 2026. Data presented by Praveen Chakravarty suggests that 37% of the 131 awardees, including legends like Mammootty and the late Dharmendra, hail from five poll-bound states such as West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. While the Opposition labels these civilian honors as ‘election vehicles,’ BJP’s Khushboo Sundar defends the recognition of ‘unsung heroes.’ The report provides a factual look at how the Constitution and national awards remain central to India’s political narrative ahead of crucial assembly elections.
