Hindustan Times  

Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar expressed concern over the rituals performed during the inauguration event of the newly constructed Parliament building, saying he is happy not to have attended the inauguration ceremony after watching it on television. Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar expressed concern over the rituals performed during the inauguration event of the newly constructed Parliament building Pawar’s remarks came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated the new House to the nation on Sunday amid religious rituals and multi-faith prayers. Amid Vedic chants by priests from Karnataka’s Shringeri Math, the prime minister performed “Ganapati Homam” to invoke Gods to bless the inauguration of the new Parliament building. “There is a huge difference between the country’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru talking about the concept of modern India and a series of rituals performed at the new Parliament building today in New Delhi. Another NCP leader and Member of Parliament from Baramati Supriya Sule also reacted to the new Parliament building inauguration and called it an ‘incomplete event’ without Opposition parties, saying that it means there is no democracy in the country.
