For first time since 1966, no foreign guest at Republic-Day event?

自1966年以来，印度共和国日庆典首次无外宾参加?

DELHI/ LONDON: Weeks ahead of the January 26 Republic Day celebrations, at which he was going to be the chief guest, UK PM Boris Johnson Tuesday cancelled his visit to India citing fresh lockdown in England and the rapid spread of the new Covid strain.

新德里/伦敦：英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊原定于1月26日作为主要嘉宾参加印度共和国日庆典，由于新毒株迅速传播，英格兰刚进入新一轮封锁，约翰逊提前几周取消了访印行程。

Both sides played down the development with Johnson reiterating his “keenness" to visit India in the near future in a phone call to PM Narendra Modi and the latter expressing his understanding, according to a statement issued by the Indian government, of the "exceptional situation" in the UK, while conveying his best wishes for the quick control of the pandemic.

双方都淡化了事态的发展，约翰逊在与莫迪总理通电话时重申了他对近期访问印度的“热切期盼”，莫迪总理表示，他了解英国的“特殊情况”，表示理解，并希望英国能迅速控制疫情。

While Johnson again thanked India for its invitation for him as the chief guest of the forthcoming Republic Day, his decision has left India with hardly any time to look for a new guest for the likely curtailed celebrations this month. ToI has learnt that India may not have any guest at all for the Republic Day parade this year, assuming the parade will still happen. In that case, this will be the first time since 1966 that there will be no invite to a foreign leader for R-Day.、

约翰逊再次感谢印度邀请其作为主要嘉宾参加共和国日庆典。取消行程后，印度几乎没有时间再找新嘉宾。《印度时报》了解到，如果今年的共和国日阅兵仍会如期举行，可能不会有任何嘉宾参加。如果是这样的话，这将是自1966年以来首次没有外国领导人参加共和国日庆典。

The name of the R-Day guest is generally finalised and announced months in advance. The only time it got delayed in recent times was in 2018 when the suspense ended only in early December with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa accepting the invite for 2019 celebrations after it was declined by President Donald Trump.

“共和国日”嘉宾通常会在几个月前敲定并公布。最近唯一一次被推迟公布是在2018年，当时是到12月初才公布，在唐纳德·特朗普总统拒绝后，南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨接受了2019年庆典邀请。

India had recently announced that it would resume limited flights to UK from January 8. England though went into new and complete lockdown Monday after a fresh surge in Covid cases.

印度最近宣布，将从1月8日起有限恢复飞往英国的航班。在新冠肺炎病例激增后，英格兰于周一进入全面封锁状态。

Modi said he looked forward to receiving Johnson in India at the earliest opportunity after normalisation of the situation.

莫迪表示，他期待在形势正常化后尽早在印度接待约翰逊。

Why do we need foreign guest? Why we want to proove that slavery is in our blood? In 21st century, we still continue with traditions of 18 century. Scrap thhis parade itself and use this money to provide better ration, clothing and facilities to our solders at borders.

为什么要邀请外宾?

难道是为了证明奴隶制已融入我们的血液?

在21世纪，我们仍然延续着18世纪的传统。

取消阅兵吧，用这笔钱为边境士兵提供更好的配给、服装和设施。
