Opposition boycott of Parliament inauguration a civilised protest: Justice Chandru speaks

The impending inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, May 28, has been mired in controversy. Opposition parties have since announced their decision to boycott Sunday’s event, stating that the Prime Minister inaugurating the Parliament, sidelining President Droupadi Murmu, amounts to a grave insult and a direct assault on Indian democracy. TNM’s Dhanya Rajendran speaks to Justice Chandru on the opposition’s decision and the government’s announcement that a sengol would be placed in the Parliament.
