India will reportedly not have a chief guest for the Republic Day celebrations this year. As per some reports, India has decided against inviting a foreign leader for its 72nd Republic Day on January 26, 2021. The development comes after United Kingdom PM Boris Johnson canceled his plans to visit India at the last minute. The last time India did not have a chief guest on R-Day was in 1966 when Indira Gandhi was sworn-in as PM.
