The Modi government has rejected the opposition argument, saying no protocol has been violated and that the prime minister respects the constitutional head of the country. theSun theSundaily Modi parliament WorldNews
: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated India’s new parliament building today, a modern complex which is part of his Hindu nationalist government’s grand plan to give a makeover to the British colonial-era architecture in the nation’s capital.
Early in the morning, Modi held traditional prayers outside the complex in a ceremony that was also attended by top cabinet ministers. He then lit a traditional lamp inside parliament. “To open a new parliament building without the opposition, it does not mean there is a democracy in the country. It’s an incomplete event,” Supriya Sule, an opposition leader, told news agency ANI.
The new parliament complex is the centrepiece of a US$2.4 billion project aimed at eclipsing the significance of colonial-era buildings in the capital’s centre, paving the way for modern buildings with a distinct Indian identity.
