Omar Abdullah’s says new parliament building is “pretty damn impressive”, calls it welcome addition

Srinagar : Former Chief Minister and National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah said that the new parliament building looks “pretty damn impressive” and it is a welcome addition.

Setting aside the brouhaha about the inauguration for a moment, this building is a welcome addition. 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,”

It is worthwhile to mention that National Conference alongwith other 18 parties has decided to boycott the inauguration function of the new Parliament building on May 28—(KNO)
