PIL in SC seeking direction to have new parliament building inaugurated by President Droupadi Murmu and not PM Modi

New Delhi: A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a direction that the new parliament building should be inaugurated by the President of India, and not by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.


The petitioner, a practicing lawyer C R Jaya Sukin, filed the petition in the top court and said that the Lok Sabha secretariat violated the Constitution by not inviting the President for the inauguration.

"The statement by the Lok Sabha Secretariat on May 18 and invites issued by the Secretary General, Lok Sabha, for the inauguration of the new parliament building, have been done in an arbitrary manner without proper perusal of the records and without proper application of mind," petitioner Sukin claimed in his plea.

Sukin said that the matter is likely to come up for hearing in the Supreme Court very soon.

The petitioner stated that the respondents—the Central government and the Lok Sabha Secretariat—have violated the Indian Constitution and shown disrespect to it.

"The parliament is the supreme legislative body of India. The Indian Parliament comprises of the President and the two Houses - Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and Lok Sabha (House of the People). The President has the power to summon and prorogue either House of Parliament or to dissolve Lok Sabha," the petitioner stated.
