NEW DELHI:A PIL was filed in the Supreme Court on Thursday seeking a direction to the Lok Sabha secretariat for inauguration of the new Parliament building by President Droupadi Murmu, who is the “first citizen of India and the head of the institution”.

The petition by an apex court lawyer comes amid a massive controversy over the scheduled inauguration of the new Parliament building by PM Narendra Modi on May 28.
Some 20 opposition parties have decided to boycott to protest the “sidelining” of President.On Wednesday, 19 political parties said, “When the soul of democracy has been sucked out of Parliament, we find no value in a new building.”
