Parliament Building Inauguration: India is going to get a new temple of democracy in the form of new Parliament House, Prime Minister on May 28 Narendra Modi will inaugurate it. At the same time, all the opposition parties are adamant on getting the President to inaugurate it. Regarding this, 19 opposition parties have also announced to collectively boycott the inauguration ceremony. In which Congress is also involved, but now a leader of Congress itself has raised questions regarding this protest. Acharya Pramod Krishnam has said that if the Prime Minister of India does not inaugurate the Parliament House, will the Prime Minister of Pakistan?
Opposing the country is not right
Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam opposed the stand of the opposition parties and said, "Parliament of India is the heritage of India, not of BJP… If the Prime Minister of India does not inaugurate the Parliament of the country, then will the Prime Minister of Pakistan? Parliament, Rashtrapati Bhavan are such buildings which do not belong to any party. They belong to the country. We should oppose the policies of the Prime Minister, we should, we will do it everywhere. But respecting the sentiments of the people of the country, we have the right to oppose Modi, but it is not right to oppose the country."
Opposition should not follow the path of Owaisi
Acharya Pramod Krishnam told the opposition parties, I appeal to all the parties to reconsider their decision. Oppose Modi, it is not right to oppose the country. The Parliament of the country belongs to the whole country and not to any one party. It is wrong to consider the Parliament of India as BJP’s. That’s why I request that the entire opposition should not follow the path of Owaisi.
Which opposition parties boycotted
Opposition parties attacked the central government for keeping the President away from the Parliament House inauguration ceremony. The opposition alleged that the spirit of democracy has been removed from Parliament under the government and the “indecent act” of keeping the President away from the ceremony.
