1st Photo Of New Parliament Building That Came Out Was...: Sharad Pawar

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) President, Sharad Pawar, emphasized the significance of dialogue in Parliament-related activities and expressed his disappointment regarding the decision-making process for the new Parliament building. Pawar suggested that the decision could have been made through discussions with political parties, fostering a spirit of inclusivity and collaboration. He expressed his surprise at learning about the new building through newspapers, highlighting the lack of communication between the government and opposition parties.

 

During a 'Sauhard Baithak' (meeting to promote harmony) at Mahatma Gandhi Mission University in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, Pawar noted the declining trend of engaging in meaningful dialogue for parliamentary affairs. He acknowledged that political parties have historically held differing opinions, but they have always endeavored to resolve their disputes through dialogue.

Referring to the recent inauguration of the new Parliament building on May 28, which saw the absence of 20 opposition parties, including the Congress, Pawar mentioned that certain key individuals from the government frequently miss parliamentary sessions. He expressed the belief that when the head of the government is present in Parliament, it holds a special significance. Pawar stressed the importance of Parliament as an institution and stated that neglecting its significance can adversely affect people's perception of it.

While not directly naming any individual, Pawar conveyed his disappointment over the ruling party's refusal to invite the President for the inaugural ceremony. He believed that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) should not have opposed the proposal, stating that a photograph taken after the first session of Parliament included prominent leaders like Dr. B. R. Ambedkar and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The opposition parties had chosen to boycott the event, alleging that the BJP-led government had sidelined President Droupadi Murmu, who holds a constitutional position as the head of the country.
