The Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Thursday called the new Parliament building a "symbol of new India", and said it was a matter of pride for the state that this structure would be inaugurated on May 28, the birth anniversary of late Hindutva ideologue V D Savarkar.

It also urged the opposition parties to keep the political differences aside and attend the inauguration event instead of boycotting it.
