Heritage parliament building witness to India story
New Delhi, May 27 (PTI) The grand old Parliament, witness to the India story as it unfolded since 1927, is set to fade into pages of history as Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates the new building on Sunday.
From the first steps towards self-rule to the dawn of Independence, and the country’s emergence as a nuclear power and beyond, the grand old Parliament building has been a constant in the country’s journey for almost a century.
The hallowed precincts of Parliament have witnessed lively debates on the making of Constitution, the poignant scenes after the announcement of the death of Mahatma Gandhi and the thumping of desks when the then prime minister Indira Gandhi announced the unconditional surrender of Pakistan forces in Bangladesh.
