Who should preside over the Opening of the new parliament-President or PM?

With the Opposition objecting to the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi scheduled for May 28, Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri criticised Congress leaders for raking up the issue and selectively quoting articles in support of its arguments.

The basic grouse of the Congress has been that the new Parliament should have been inaugurated by the President of the country and not the Prime Minister. As per the programme put out by the government, the grand opening will follow the format of the groundbreaking ceremony in 2020 and will have Lok Sabha  Speaker Om Birla apart from PM Modi.

Ahead of the opening, hymn chanting, a havan, and a puja will be performed to commemorate it. The main programme is set to begin at 11.30 am and the rituals from early on. The Opposition has vowed to boycott the ceremony and questioned why the President was not inaugurating the new Parliament building while the Centre races against the clock to finish the preparation.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge claimed in a tweet that it appears the Modi Government has ensured the election of the President of India from Dalit and tribal communities only for electoral reasons. He recalled that former President Ram Nath Kovind had not been invited for the new Parliament foundation-laying ceremony and President Droupadi Murmu has not been invited for the inauguration of the new Parliament building.

The senior Rajya Sabha MP reminded everyone that the President of India is the country’s highest constitutional authority and the Parliament is its highest legislative body. President Murmu is the sole representative of the government, the opposition, and every citizen, he noted.

In his reaction to tweets by Kharge, Manish Tewari and Shashi Tharoor, Union Minister Puri said the Congress leaders should desist from such behaviour and celebrate the opening of the new Parliament building. He charged that the Congress leaders were unable to appreciate the fact that the country needed a larger Parliament and did nothing to get it done, but now since it was getting done, they were protesting against it.

Bihar BJP chief Samrat Choudhary compares Congress leader Rahul Gandhi  with Osama Bin Laden, says one cannot become the PM just by growing beard

BJP’s Bihar unit chief Samrat Chaudhary was addressing a public rally in Bihar’s Araria district when he compared Congress leader Rahul Gandhi with slain terrorist former Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden and said Rahul Gandhi cannot become the Prime Minister of the India just by growing a beard.

Choudhary’s comments came months after former Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during his Bharat Jodo Yatra sported a beard. The BJP leader also slammed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar that he is going around the country telling everyone that he is the Prime Minister of the country. He said Kumar has lost his mental balance.

He commented on the opposition’s inability to select a Prime Ministerial candidate for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. He said kumar’s mental state resembled the character of Bollywood actor Aamir Khan in the film Ghajini. A meting of opposition parties is going to take place in Patna to chalk out a strategy for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections and fight united against the BJP.

A range of senior opposition leaders like Sharad Pawar, Mallikarjun Kharge, Mamata Banerjee, Rahul Gandhi and others are going to be a part of the meeting.

Earlier, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma had made similar comments on Rahul Gandhi’s look. He had made a comparison of Gandhi with Saddam Hussein and advised him to shave his beard so that he could look like former Indian PM Jawaharlal Nehru. Meanwhile Choudhary said, if BJP government is formed in Bihar action will be taken against those involved in cow slaughter. Continuing on his remarks on Gandhi Choudhary said Gandhi is a child and even questioned his political acumen.

He said although Rahul is 50 years old he lacks the political intelligence comparing him with a child having intellectual capacity of a child. Choudhary even addressed the issue of love Jihad. He said, if BJP government comes to power in Bihar, love jihadists will be identified and prosecuted.

He said, the BJP stressed on identifying and deporting Bangladeshi infiltrators from across the border.
