Why worship the empty land of the new parliament building? Also pray for all religions: Opposition

New delhi date. 7 December 2020, Monday

Opposition parties have also started protesting against the new parliament building, which is scheduled to be inaugurated on December 10.

Opposition parties say that not only land worship but also interfaith prayers should be held. It is worth mentioning that the new parliament building is to be worshiped at the hands of PM Modi. However, the opposition has questioned the government's priorities.

The Congress says that if the PM wants to perform Bhumi Pujan, he should also invite leaders of other religions so that all the people living in the country can feel attached to the new Parliament House.

While Mamata Banerjee's party has termed Bhumi Pujan as anti-secularism.

It is to be mentioned that the new Parliament House is to be constructed on the site of the existing Parliament House. The new Parliament House will be constructed at a cost of Rs. 850 crore. As the country prepares to celebrate the 75th anniversary of its independence this year, the government will probably sit in the new parliament building to celebrate.

The new parliament building will be spread over 65000 square meters. The design of the three-storey building will be such that it looks like three colored rays when viewed from the sky. The new parliament building will have 900 seats so that it does not matter if the number of MPs increases in future.

The new building will also have a constitutional hall in which the history of democracy in India will be presented. There will also be facilities like lounge, library, room for various committees, canteen, vehicle parking for the members of parliament. The design of the new parliament has been prepared by Gujarati architect from Ahmedabad.
