The inauguration of the newly-constructed Parliament building is all set to be done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28 but the controversy around it doesn’t seem to die down. The opposition parties which have called for a boycott of the event are not budging from their stance even after being repeatedly urged by the BJP. While the saffron party is advocating that the new Parliament is not of a single party but it is the nation’s Parliament, several other parties have come across and extended their support to the Union Government for the event. On the other hand, the boycotting parties have cited that the reason for the boycott is the alleged sidelining of President of India, Droupadi Murmu. 

"Completely sidelining President Droupadi Murmu ji on the occasion of the inauguration of the new Parliament House is not only an insult to Her Excellency but also a direct attack on democracy," the Congress said in a tweet.
