New Legislative Yuan buildingBy Rup Narayan DasAs a Taiwan Fellowship scholar at National Chung Hsing University and a former officer of the secretariat of the Indian Parliament, which is currently constructing a new parliament building, I read with great interest recent articles about a proposal to construct a new building for the Legislative Yuan and feel impelled to share India’s example. The Central Legislative Assembly met for the first time in the newly built Parliament House when India was under British rule. The Constituent Assembly adopted the constitution of India in the magnificent Central Hall of the Parliament Building. After the delimitation of the constituencies of the Lok Sabha and state legislatures is completed, the number of seats in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha is likely to rise further. The issue was also a factor when deciding whether to construct a new parliament building.
