The reason behind this is that PM Modi inaugurated the new building. Instead, they feel the building should have been inaugurated by President <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/draupadi-murmu-becomes-the-president-of-india">Draupadi Murmu</a>.</p><p>The opposition parties that didn’t attend the inauguration said that the President is the head of the state. The President is also an essential part of the Parliament, which cannot function without her.</p><p>The opposition parties said that the President has the authority to call and discontinue the Parliament. She also has the power to dissolve the Lok Sabha. So, they wanted President Murmu to rightfully inaugurate the new Parliament building.</p><p>The central government ignored the concerns of the opposition parties and said that the launch of the new Parliament is a historic moment. It shouldn’t be used to create politics among each other, according to the central government.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/opposition-refused-to-attend-new-parliament-inauguration%2FNew%20parliament%20collage.jfif?alt=media&amp;token=f0529f8e-862a-4368-b5b4-68daff1583a7"><figcaption>The new Parliament building.

Of the twenty-five, eighteen were members of the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Seven were non-NDA members.</p><p>The participation of these seven parties gave considerable relief to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Their attendance helped the BJP show that everyone should have attended this event. On the other hand, several opposition parties felt like their point of view was not heard and therefore decided to skip such an important event.</p><h5>Why should there be unity between the central government and the opposition parties?</h5><p>Political parties working together allow them to cooperate on crucial issues affecting the country. This can result in improved policies and decisions that benefit the entire country. Political parties generally have opposing views. Their unity helps in the exchange of ideas.</p><p>This ensures that all ideas are fairly discussed when making decisions that affect the country's future. A united opposition is critical in holding the ruling party accountable. This contributes to the ruling party taking decisions in the people's best interests and avoiding abuse of power. Political parties working together can help build a better future for the nation.</p>

 Several opposition parties did not attend the Parliament inauguration on Sunday, May 28th.
