Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi indirectly criticized the opposition’s decision to boycott the inauguration of the new Parliament building. After concluding his visits to Japan, Papua New Guinea, and Australia, the Prime Minister arrived in Delhi.
During his speech, PM Modi made reference to a recent community event in Sydney, where he spoke to a crowd of over 20,000 people. He highlighted that not only the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, was present, but also the former Prime Minister and members of both the opposition and ruling party came together for the sake of their nation.
“The former Prime Minister was also present in that function. There were MPs from the opposition and the ruling party. All of them took part in the community event,” stated the Prime Minister.
PM Modi also criticized the opposition for questioning the government’s decision to export Covid vaccines to other countries during the peak of the pandemic.
“In times of crises, they asked why Modi was giving vaccines to the world. Remember, it’s the land of Buddha, it’s the land of Gandhi! We care even for our enemies, we are the people inspired by compassion!” expressed PM Modi.
The inauguration of the new Parliament building, scheduled for Sunday, will have minimal representation from the opposition as nearly 20 parties have announced their boycott of the event.
The opposition parties released a statement, condemning Prime Minister Modi for inaugurating the new building without the presence of President Murmu, which they considered a grave insult and an assault on democracy. They accused the Prime Minister of undermining the spirit of inclusion and disrespecting the first woman Adivasi President of the nation.
