Asaduddin Owaisi Says, Speaker should inaugurate New Parliament, not Prez or PM

Hyderabad: President of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Asaduddin Owaisi has demanded that Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla inaugurate the New Parliament Building instead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi or President Murmu.

Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, Owaisi stressed that not allowing the Speaker to inaugurate the Constitutional building is a violation of the ‘Theory of



Separation’.

The Theory of Separation is a doctrine of separation of powers implying each pillar of democracy – the executive, legislature and judiciary – performs separate functions and acts as separate entities.

“Parliament, also known as the Legislature, is independent of the Executive (lead by the Prime Minister) and Judiciary (led by the CJI). Hence, we are opposing the decision of PM Modi to inaugurate the New Parliament Building,” he said.
