Chirag Paswan condemns Opposition move to boycott new Parliament building inauguration

"I and my party - LJP (Ram Vilas) - condemns the decision by 19 opposition parties to boycott the inauguration of new Parliament building... The decision by opposition parties to boycott this historic moment is an attack on the democratic values and constitutional institutions," Mr. Paswan said in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Modi.

Mr. Paswan said Opposition parties have disrupted Parliament proceedings repeatedly over the last nine years.
