Amid the controversy over the inauguration of the new Parliament building, National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah said he was highly impressed with the new Parliament building.
Omar’s party is, however, among several opposition parties that have decided to skip the inaugural function on Sunday.
“Setting aside the brouhaha about the inauguration for a moment, this building is a welcome addition,” the former minister of erstwhile state tweeted while reacting to the video providing a detailed view of the Parliament.
“ The old Parliament House has served us well but as someone who has worked there for a few years, a lot of us often spoke amongst ourselves about the need for a new & improved parliament building. Better late than never is all I’ll say & this one looks pretty damn impressive,” he added.
