PM Modi Shares Glimpse Of New Parliament Building, Says It Will Make Every Indian Proud

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the new Parliament building will make every Indian proud, and shared a video of the newly-constructed complex.

Sharing the first glimpse of the Parliament building, PM Modi in a tweet said, "The new Parliament building will make every Indian proud. This video offers a glimpse of this iconic building."

He also called for citizens to share the clip with voice-overs using the #MyParliamentMyPride tag.

"I have a special request- share this video with your own voice-over, which conveys your thoughts. I will re-Tweet some of them. Don't forget to use #MyParliamentMyPride," he added.

The video shared by the Prime Minister gives a virtual tour of the new Parliament building including the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

The inauguration of the new Parliament building is scheduled for Sunday and will commence with an early morning havan (a ritualistic fire ceremony) and a multi-religion prayer. Prime Minister Modi will then formally open the ceremony in the Lok Sabha.

As many as 19 opposition parties, including the Congress, Left, TMC, SP and AAP, came together on Wednesday and announced their decision to boycott the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying they find no value in a new building when the "soul of democracy has been sucked out".
