Appealing to 19 Opposition parties to reconsider and reverse their decision to boycott the inauguration of the new Parliament building on May 28, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi urged them to be a part of the historic function.
Speaking to the media, Mr. Joshi said: “I would like to tell them that this is a historical event. This is not the time for politics. Boycotting and making issues out of a new issue is most unfortunate. I appeal to them to reconsider their decision and join this historical function.”
Sharing details of the planned ceremony at a press conference, Home Minister Amit Shah also said that the Opposition parties had been invited and that they should now act according to “their wisdom”.
