the management of do welcome to dw news. a shared that you could join us in the us prime minister in that ends are multi, has you know, great at the countries, new parliament building too much fun for and to control the c at the time. but he was busy with dedicating will take all the temple of democracy to the people police for suppressing protests by those very people, championship winning rest as were being tested on to the ground to prevent them from protesting against perceived government inaction. in the case of sexual harassment, a member of more these ruling b, j. b stands accused of molesting restless, including a minor accusations which made no difference to grand plans. do not get a spanking new parliament. it was a day of glaring contrasts in the prime minister,

a picture of calm as he arrived to open the new parliament on 4 to 5. his legacy just started the street. what a world we met a wedding wrestlers how cold as they try to crash the party and jump the barricades to on the one hand, the new parliament is being evaluated. and on the other hand, democracy is being murdered. this is absolutely intolerable. they accuse praise, pression shar, on saying the sexual abuse, sing low me, creating moody's party denies the charges. police eventually dealt with the wrestlers one by one and our people are not being allowed to march towards parliament. bridge boucher is sitting in parliament and we are being detained to the red drum, moody and meanwhile was praying before

a gold set to the to alone with him took center stage and an elaborate christening set of money intended to open a new chapter in the country's national story sat yes. yes, said friends, this is not a one, just a building. it is a reflection of the aspirations. i'm 3 of one point. 4000000000 indians are supplemental cobb park. the mean india is all physician parties, boy thought to the proceedings. the see that the president, not moody, should have officiated. that movie is creating a cult of personality history. one, remember you just because you made a good building history. remember you whether you ensure that the soul in that building is also a light, moody, in fish, the modem, parliament reflects a pro the 21st century india. you'd be shipping this,

send the message of even the determination to the world as they thought the slot is our temple of democracy. empty words for the defiant wrestlers who celebration of democracy ended in arrest taken away by police, and later charged with rioting. and let's get more context on this from douglas. charlie, either if we're going to be now from daily shallow prime minister, a movie called the new parliament, a temple of democracy. at the same time that the democratic, right to protest was being denied to the restless. how's the government said anything since the police operation as well. there hasn't been any official reactions from the government so far. uh, which is uh, you know, seen as focus indifference on the governments of fox to denny police however,

has reacted and said that the rest of us will not be allowed to forward this info just from the same site as they were for the last one month. at the heart of delhi and dumped their method. uh they said that uh they violated the load on sunday during the products and have pressed charges of writing against them. and as you rightly said, of the days of the crime, it is still when this was unfolding on the streets of delhi, just ready to go. he does away from the prime ministers in operation of the new parliament, which was seen as a historic moment. oh, you know of india moving away from the colonial road, a building of the parliament of the order to find them and uh, but then it is also being seen as historic event for the wrong reasons. why? because um, for the 19 opposition parties uh, refused to attend this event. uh, call and get a one man show uh from the uh, the prime minister of, you know, with an intention to just sort of his own legacy and disregarding the

constitutional principles. and also, you know, this is being seen on a global level as a bit of an embarrassment. you know, but at the same time the police was dragging and sorting these rest goes on the streets and, and sort of like, you know, uh, dragging them to the presence of so it depends, you know, which, which side you seed from, but i think it's being seen as historic for 2 reasons. one for the right reason and one of the wrong reasons. hello, somebody who is reported the from in there for a long time, is the police action on sunday, against the wrestler, as also somewhat of a metaphor for the state of democracy in india under this government to but that's exactly how it's being seen at the moment because it's the same police of you know, that i refused to press charges against a budget. lucian was the man in question here. accuse of a section harassment, or for many restless, including a my know to the supreme court. if in the, in fact

a to instruct the deli police do um, you know, if i convince against him, but the same police didn't take up, you know, even always to press charges against the rest of us. we've just been sitting on peaceful protests of, you know, without breaking and you know, so that gives you reflection off of, you know, how the police of is being many see the this as, you know, having of the police of, by the government and the orders that it's like coming from the top bush and seeing the chief of the resting federation of and also belongs to the ruling. major b, y. it has to be g p being reluctant to take action against him. some are seeing it into the lights. you can only guess of but the light duties and could be that the man has a huge cloud in multiple constituencies, which is be seen as of you know, his license to be above the low. like i said, it took the supreme court to of, you know, filed a complaint against this 9. and also of,

even though the b j. b has distance itself from the events that which pollution has been forwarding since these up who just began his presence in the bottom in the north region on sunday. uh certainly gives the message that he is definitely not a persona non grata for me to be going back to a point to read any of the opening of fundamentals of park altered by some 20 opposition parties. this is about a year ahead of general elections. is this the opposition making a statement of unity? i heard of these bows to yes. that's right. the opposition leaders had the meeting a week before, you know, version of the parliament was due to happen. and they made a statement that made it very clear that they're not going to be attending this event, which seems to be just about the prime minister and of you know, the fact that she disregarded the president who is um, you know, a symbolic see who is a symbolic for but is constitutionally very important. so the portrait of this

event, but also to make a logic point that's, you know, a joy to be a general elections there. calling out the government offered his high high business all for the way of, you know, certain things have been handled in the past. for instance of, you know, the executive order of to sort of have the control of delhi and the central government ahead and also, um, you know, um, sending fax officials of, you know, after, after all, position now political parties. so the opposition parties are coming together, which is rare in, in politics. but it's to be seen how it, um, how it unfolds in, in the, in the bottom. the elections are just one final question. was the prime minister himself making a statement as well with the an organization development. yes, he did make a statement. he called it uh, you know, not just a building but also a temple of democracy. he said, this is a sign of the width of india is 1400000000 people. and india sort of moving away

from it is going to need a boss because the old parliament was built by the british approval to india for use for decades of. and so, you know, his statement was seen as, as a, you know, an old positive sort of acclimation of india, of, you know, on, on a global stage. but it's also being questioned when, you know, other events like the rest of those will dismiss, handling, right? the opposition party is not taken into uh, confidence is concerned. so i sound like rather we leave it there for the time. you thank so much for joining us today. thank you for having me. in china a scheme to rehabilitate some of the country's most serious criminals as funeral work as is paying off a root on as mama waves do off to heaven offered streaming and financial support to former prisoners. so they can start a new career as, as undertakers. for many,
