PM Modi treating inauguration of new Parliament building as coronation: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said Parliament is the voice of the people but the prime minister is treating the inauguration of the new Parliament building like "coronation".
The attack came soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new Parliament building.
"Parliament is the voice of the people! The Prime Minister is treating the inauguration of the Parliament House as coronation," Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.
AICC general secretary, Organisation, K C Venugopal also tweeted, saying, "At the foundation stone laying ceremony of the new Parliament building, then Hon'ble President Sh. Ramnath Kovind was kept away from the ceremony. At its inauguration, President Droupadi Murmu has been sidelined."
"It is the upper caste, anti-backward mindset of the RSS because of which they are denied the respect that their high constitutional office deserves. Their deliberate exclusion shows PM Modi will use them as tokens for his electoral politics, but will not allow them to be part of such significant and historic occasions," Venugopal said.

Supreme Court finds CBI status report "disturbing" in Kolkata rape-murder case
New Delhi: During a hearing on Tuesday concerning the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, the Supreme Court described the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) latest status report as "worse and disturbing."
Chief Justice DY Chandrachud expressed deep concern about the findings, stating that the CBI’s status report is “worse” and that the court is “very disturbed” by the revelations.
Following a counsel’s observation that the victim's jeans and undergarments had not been collected, the CJI said, “What the CBI has revealed in the report is worse, really disturbing, what you are flagging is of utmost concern, we ourselves are concerned, the CBI has flagged it for us.”
The Supreme Court also directed Wikipedia to remove the victim's name, following reports that the site had retained the victim’s name and created an artistic graphic, despite the ongoing investigation.
The top court asserted that it would not be appropriate to disclose specific leads from the CBI probe at this stage to avoid disrupting the investigation.
Chief Justice Chandrachud acknowledged the valuable investigative leads proposed by the victim’s father and indicated that these suggestions should be considered by the central probe agency. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the CBI, emphasised that the agency would take the Chief Justice’s suggestions into account.
