Dear Editor,
The upcoming inauguration of the new Parliament building by PM has become the center of a contentious battle between the ruling and the Opposition. With the Congress, Trinamool Congress, DMK, and AAP among the 18 parties boycotting the event, an unfortunate divide has over- shadowed this momentous occasion. These parties issued a joint statement calling the PM’s decision to personally inaugurate the building a direct assault on our democracy. Now it is the time for PM to step back and let this magnificent structure, which represents a vibrant democracy shine. By agreeing to the Opposition’s request to invite the President to the inauguration, PM Modi can demonstrate his magnanimity and ensure that no controversy marries this historic occasion. The new Parliament building exemplifies India’s democratic spirit and progress. Its awe-inspiring architecture blends heritage with modernity, embodying the nation’s aspirations and commitment to democratic principles. Beyond the political wrangling, this inauguration should serve as an opportunity to unite the nation and celebrate its democratic heritage.
