Chirag Paswan said opposition parties have disrupted Parliament proceedings repeatedly over the last nine years.
Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan on Friday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi extending his wishes for the inauguration of the new Parliament building and condemned opposition parties for announcing a boycott of the event.
"I and my party - LJP (Ram Vilas) - condemn the decision by 19 opposition parties to boycott the inauguration of the new Parliament building... The decision by opposition parties to boycott this historic moment is an attack on the democratic values and constitutional institutions," Paswan said in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Modi.
Mr Paswan said opposition parties have disrupted Parliament proceedings repeatedly over the last nine years.
He said his party, while being in the ruling alliance and after quitting it, has supported the government's decisions taken in the public interest.
