The new Parliament House will make every Indian proud, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he gave a glimpse of the four-storey building through a video, which he will inaugurate on Sunday (May 28). The Prime Minister made a “special request” to people to re-share the video with their own voice-over which conveys their thoughts about the new structure that will replace the iconic circular building. He also asked the citizens to use #MyParliamentMyPride while posting the videos.

Asaduddin Owaisi said that according to the Constitution, the Lok Sabha Speaker is entitled to inaugurate the Parliament building, not the PM.

Asaduddin Owaisi of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen on Wednesday echoed the same sentiments of the 19 opposition parties, and objected to the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but alleged that his party was not contacted by those who are against the event.

Without confirming whether the AIMIM will attend the ceremony or not, Owaisi said, “If Birla does not inaugurate the new Parliament, then we will skip the ceremony."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that ties between India and Australia are defined by mutual trust and respect while addressing a mega diaspora event in Sydney on Tuesday.

With chants of "Modi, Modi" filling the air inside Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena, the Prime Minister hailed the growing ties between the two countries, saying that it is the Indian diaspora that has helped take the relationship to another level.

Speaking at the event after a receiving a rousing welcome, PM Modi said that India's relationship is often characterized by the "3Cs", "3Ds" and "3Es", adding that they have now gone far beyond these labels.

Modi is visiting Australia from May 22-24 as a guest of the Australian Government. He will also attend a community event in Sydney to celebrate Australia’s dynamic and diverse Indian diaspora, a core part of our multicultural community.
