In a scathing attack on the opposition on the Ashoka Pillar row, eminent author David Frawley said that India’s opposition parties are happier with the British-designed government buildings than the Indian-designed. In his tweet he said that this reflects the very mindset of the politicians.
“It seems India’s opposition parties are happier with British designed govt. buildings than with new and more monumental Indian designed structures, Even the Ashoka Pillar is questionable for them,” He further said that this reflects their mindset.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was slammed by opposition parties on Monday for unveiling the national emblem cast atop the new Parliament building, accusing him of “subverting” the principle of the constitutional separation of powers.
The Constitution separates the powers of Parliament, Government & Judiciary. As the head of the government, the Prime Minister should not have unveiled the national emblem atop the new parliament building, according to All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi.
The Speaker of Lok Sabha represents the Lok Sabha, independent of the government. According to Owaisi, a Lok Sabha member from Hyderabad, the prime minister has violated all constitutional norms.
The CPI(M) Polit Bureau issued a statement calling the prime minister’s actions a “clear violation of the Indian Constitution.”
It stated that the Constitution unambiguously separates our democracy’s three wings: the Executive (government), the Legislature (Parliament and state assemblies), and the Judiciary.
