Multi-faith Prayer

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla were among other Union Ministers and chief ministers of several states who attended attend a multi-faith prayer ceremony held at the new Parliament building on Sunday.

The ceremony to inaugurate the new Parliament building will begin with an early morning havan and a multi-religion prayer on Sunday followed by a formal opening in the Lok Sabha chamber by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Daughters of Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat, Kritika and Tarini, on Friday paid floral tributes to their parents in the national capital.

People of different faiths came together on Sunday to participate in a ''sarva dharma sambhava'' - a multi-faith prayer ceremony - at Delhi's Shaheen Bagh, where anti-citizenship law protesters have been demonstrating for almost a month now.

The inaugural ceremony of the National War Memorial in the India Gate Complex saw a sombre tribute to the fallen soldiers of the country that included a shower of flower petals form three helicopters flying overhead, to a multi-faith prayer, and the lighting of the eternal lamp by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

S Abirami, who taught chemistry at the SBOA School and Junior College, a school run by the State Bank of India Officers' Association, says she was suspended the same day she said a multi-faith prayer before her students took their board exam. She claims the prayer was unacceptable for the school as 'it has a tacit Christian prayer in place'.
