Controversy over inauguration of new Parliament building: Azad exposes Congress

Early Times Report

Jammu, May 25: Amid raging controversy over the inauguration of the new Parliament building, the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Azad Party (DPAP) and former Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad exposed the duplicity of Congress on this issue.
Trying to attack Congress for unnecessarily raking up the controversy, Azad said that the construction of a new Parliament building was necessary. He said that it is good that it has been constructed but the idea was mooted when PV Narasimha Rao was the Prime Minister.
He recalled the conversation related to the need for a new Parliament building between him and then Speaker Shivraj Patil when PV Narasimha Rao was the Prime Minister.
“At the time when PV Narasimha Rao was the PM, Shivraj Patil was the Speaker and I was the Parliamentary Affairs minister, Shivraj ji had said to me that a new and bigger Parliament building should be constructed before 2026.
The construction of a new building was necessary, it’s good that it has been constructed now,” he said.
He, however, avoided commenting on the issue of which political party would be attending or boycotting the inauguration event of the new Parliament building.
Important to mention here that Ghulam Nabi Azad had snapped his 50-year-long relations with Congress Party on August 26, 2022 terming the party “comprehensively destroyed”. He also lashed out at Rahul Gandhi for “demolishing” the party’s entire consultative mechanism.
Notable Congress and eighteen other opposition parties have decided to boycott the inauguration of the new Parliament Building and stated that it “insults the high office of the President, and violates the letter and spirit of the Constitution”.
