Why Rs 1000 cr new Parliament building when half of India is hungry: Kamal Haasan

India: Before launching his campaign for 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, actor-politician Kamal Haasan targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the new Parliament building project.

Taking to Twitter on Sunday (December 13), Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) chief wrote, “Why a 1,000-crore new Parliament when half of India is hungry, losing livelihood due to coronavirus. When thousands died as the Great Wall of China was being built, the rulers said it was to protect people. To protect whom are you building the Rs1,000-crore Parliament? Please answer my honourable elected PM.”
