PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
The Prime Minister of India

The correct answer is The Prime Minister of India.

While the President of India is the Head of State and holds the highest position in the country, the ceremonial hoisting of the national flag on Independence Day is traditionally performed by the Prime Minister of India. This act symbolizes the leadership of the nation and is a significant part of the Independence Day celebrations. The Prime Minister's presence and participation underscore the importance of this event and their role in leading the country. The other options, the Attorney General and the Vice President, are not involved in this specific ceremonial function. Their roles are primarily related to legal matters and constitutional responsibilities. The Prime Minister, as the Head of Government, takes on this symbolic responsibility, making it a key aspect of the national celebration.
