During the grand opening ceremony of the new parliament building in New Delhi, a lighthearted moment took place when Union Minister Smriti Irani playfully sneaked into the frame while a photographer was capturing a picture of Home Minister Amit Shah. Ms. Irani shared the amusing image on Twitter, jokingly referring to herself as a photobomber. The photograph shows Amit Shah posing for a picture from the treasury benches of the new parliament, with Smriti Irani happily smiling as she manages to enter the frame, just a row behind Shah.
The inauguration of the new parliament building was carried out by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday morning. During his inaugural address in the new parliament, PM Modi expressed his belief that as India progresses, the new building will also contribute to the advancement of the world.
“Some moments in the developmental journey of a nation become immortalized, and today is one such day… The new Parliament complex will witness the realization of our vision for a ‘developed India’,” stated the Prime Minister.
The new parliament building holds significant importance as a symbol of India’s progress and aspirations. PM Modi emphasized that its construction represents the country’s determination to achieve the goal of a developed nation. The state-of-the-art facility is expected to provide a conducive environment for lawmakers to engage in meaningful discussions and make decisions that shape the nation’s future.
The presence of Union Minister Smriti Irani in the playful photograph added a touch of humor to the solemn occasion, reminding everyone that even amidst important events, there is room for light-hearted moments and camaraderie among politicians.
