Why a New Parliament When Half of India is Starving: Kamal Haasan

Comparing the new Parliament building to the Great Wall of China, Kamal Haasan sought answers from the PM.

Actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the rationale behind building a Rs 1,000-crore new parliament building when “half of India is starving after losing its livelihood due to COVID-19.”

The Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) party chief took to Twitter seeking answers from PM Modi on the issue. His tweet read:

“Thousands of people died in the construction of the Great Wall of China. The kings said that this wall was to protect the people. When half of India is starving after losing its livelihood due to Corona, who will build a parliament worth Rs 1,000 crore? Please answer my honourable elected PM.”
