No need for new Parliament building: Nitish

Patna, 27/5: Amid Opposition’s call for boycotting the inauguration of the new Parliament building, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar Saturday asserted that there is “no need” for a new Parliament building.

 

 

The new Parliament building is an attempt to write a new history by those who had no contribution in the freedom struggle, he told reporters here.

 

Kumar also expressed dismay over President Droupadi and Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankar, who is also the chairman of Rajya Sabha, not being invited to the function. JD(U), of which he is a senior leader, has announced that it will boycott the inauguration of the new Parliament building on Sunday.

 

The party will observe a day-long fast here on the day to protest the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
