India’s new Parliament: Stage set for historic inauguration on May 28 NORTHLINES CORRESPONDENT

NEW DELHI, May 27: The stage is set for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate the new state-of-the-art Parliament building in New Delhi on Sunday.
A day ahead of the historic occasion, the PM described the new building as a “temple of democracy” and wished that it continues to strengthen India's development trajectory and empower millions.
“Several people are expressing their joy on #MyParliamentMyPride. Through very emotional voice-overs they are conveying a spirit of pride that our nation is getting a new Parliament which will keep working to fulfill people's aspirations with more vigour,” he said in another tweet.
The inauguration ceremony will begin around 7am with a havan and a multi-religion prayer. The ceremonial sceptre ‘Sengol' will then be installed near the chair of the Lok Sabha Speaker in the new Parliament building.
As many as 25 parties are expected to attend the inauguration even as 21 opposition parties have decided to boycott the event, insisting that President Droupadi Murmu as head of the state should have been the one to do the honours.
