Yesterday, the front pages of leading English newspapers offered mixed reviews of Modi's inauguration of the new Parliament building. The opposition’s boycott, the wrestlers’ protest, the violence in Manipur – several papers offered space to the various controversies accompanying Sunday’s event.
In Tamil Nadu, the four leading newspapers were in sync on May 29. Coverage on their front pages united in applauding the event’s celebration of Tamil culture in the form of the sengol, which was carried through the new building with much fanfare and installed in a place of honour.
