On Thursday, PM Modi laid the foundation stone and performed Bhumi Pujan of the new Parliament building. But no construction work can be carried out as of now as the Supreme Court has strictly warned against any demolition or cutting down of trees. Allowing only paperwork and laying of the foundation stone, Justice AM Khanwilkar said that “The fact that there is no stay does not mean you can go ahead with everything. We did not expect you to go ahead and start construction so aggressively."
