All-India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi hit out at Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for its comparison of the new Parliament building with a coffin questioning the need for bringing in “this angle”.
“RJD has no stand, sometimes they speak about secularism and make Nitish Kumar, who came out of BJP, their chief minister. The old Parliament building did not even have clearance from Delhi Fire Service Owaisi stated.
Why are they (RJD) calling the Parliament a coffin? They could have said anything else, why do they need to bring this angle?,” said AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.
No one would expect this kind of positive argument from the MIM chief. In General he is dead against the BJP and Modi.
Earlier today the RJD had posted a photo of a coffin and asked ‘Yeh kya hai (What is this?) in hindi. RJD’s Shakti Yadav’s later explained said that the coffin in the party’s tweet was a representation of “democracy being buried.
MIM Chief Owaisi said that it would have been better if Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla inaugurated the parlaiment.
Union minister Pralhad Joshi said that parliament is a temple of democracy and a befitting reply should be given to RJD for comparison..
Aam Aadmi Party has also criticized the inauguration of the new Parliament building by PM Modi.
BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said, “No political comments should be made on the day when the new Parliament building is being inaugurated today. All political parties should rise above politics and respect this.”
BJP leaders said that it revealed the “cheap mindset” of those who posted it on Twitter and that such people should be charged with sedition.
BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said the tweet will prove the final nail for the RJD.
