Following the opening of the new Parliament building on Sunday, the Congress launched a stinging assault on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that he was a “self-glorifying authoritarian PM with utter disdain for parliamentary procedures” who had done so.
On Sunday morning, Prime Minister Modi officially opened the new Parliament structure.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh attacked the prime minister, claiming that Nehru, who done the most to foster India’s parliamentary democracy, was cremated on this day (May 28). Born in 1883, Savarkar was the intellectual catalyst for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.
Ramesh said that President Droupadi Murmu, the first Adivasi to hold the office of president, is not permitted to carry out her constitutional responsibilities on this day and open the new Parliament building.
“A self-glorifying authoritarian Prime Minister with utter disdain for Parliamentary procedures, who rarely attends or engages in it, inaugurates the New Parliament building in 2023,” he stated.
According to Ramesh, the drum-beating of the media and the falsification of facts by “distorians” reached new lows in 2023.
The Sengol, which was put in the new Parliament building on Sunday, and the prime minister’s inauguration of the new Parliament have sparked a verbal spat between the Congress and the BJP.
Because they believe the President, not the Prime Minister, should open the new Parliament building, a number of opposition parties have decided to abstain from the ceremony.
