MK Stalin and RN Ravi rubbed shoulders on Thursday - January 26 in a ceremony in Chennai that was organized on the occasion of Indian Republic Day. 

The event has spurred uproar as several leaders have been staunchly reprimanding the officials and the video of the heated argument at the RBI premises was doing rounds on social media. 

The video has come as DMK's response to hit back at the expert committee of the Union Defence Ministry that rejected Tamil Nadu's tableau and questioned the Tamil freedom fighters.

BJP ruling Karnataka is the only southern state that will have its tableau in what would become an unprecedented parade.

How this year's Republic Day parade differs from the preceding years? Let's take a look at the first-of-it's kind events in the iconic parade of 72nd Republic Day.

Dominic Raab said the British Prime Minister has accepted India's very generous invitation to be the Republic Day Chief Guest at next month's celebrations in Delhi and Raab had called the invitation as a great honor.
