Ministry of Defence too had clarified it was just a rumour and that Delhi's participation in Republic Day parade was confirmed.

New Delhi, Jan 5: Dismissing rumours that the Centre had rejected Delhi's tableau for the Republic Day parade by citing poll code violations, Delhi Culture Minister Kapil Mishra said the participation of the state government was confirmed.
