Indian MPs move to new parliament building as gov’t holds special session

Al Jazeera  

Modi inaugurated the new parliament in May amid boycott by opposition which wanted India’s president to inaugurate instead. Indian legislators have bid farewell to a British-era parliament building and moved to a new facility next door on what Prime Minister Narendra Modi said was a “historic day”. In May, Modi inaugurated the new building, part of an ambitious redevelopment of the so-called Central Vista complex in New Delhi, amid protests from opposition parties who had wanted India’s president to inaugurate instead. “Today India has awakened with a new consciousness,” Modi said in the central hall of the old parliament building before leading fellow legislators by foot across to the new complex. “Today is an occasion to recollect and reminisce the parliamentary journey of 75 years of India before the proceedings are shifted to the newly inaugurated building,” Modi told a special session of parliament on Monday.
