The new Parliament House building is an example of the coexistence of the ancient and the modern, PM Modi said
India's new Parliament House was dedicated to the nation by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (May 28, 2023) in a ceremony that was preceded by the installation of the Sengol, a ceremonial sceptre which signified the transfer of power in 1947 when the country became independent.
In his address at the inauguration of the new Parliament House, Prime Minister Modi said that this was not merely a building but a reflection of the aspirations and dreams of 140 crore Indians. “This is a temple of our democracy that gives a message of India’s resolution to the world”, he said. “This new Parliament building connects planning to reality, policy to realization, willpower to execution, and sankalp to siddhi," he added.
According to Prime Minister Modi, the new Parliament House building is an example of the coexistence of the ancient and the modern.
Referring to the establishment of the sacred Sengol, the Prime Minister said that in the great Chola empire, Sengol was seen as a symbol of the path of service duty and nation. He said under the guidance of Rajaji and Adheenam, this Sengol became the sacred symbol of the transfer of power. “It is our good fortune that we could restore the dignity of this sacred Sengol. This Sengol will keep on inspiring us during the proceedings of the House”, he added.
Today’s India is leaving behind the mentality of slavery and embracing that ancient glory of art, Prime Minister Modi said, pointing out that the new Parliament building was a living example of this endeavour. “This building has Virasat (heritage) as well as Vastu (Architecture), Kala (art) as well as kaushal (skill), sanskriti (culture) as well as notes of Samvidhan (Constitution)," he remarked
Describing some key features included in the New Parliament House, Prime Minister Modi pointed out that the interiors of Lok Sabha were themed on the national bird, peacock, and Rajya Sabha on the national flower, lotus. The Parliament premises have the national tree Banyan. Explaining how the new building incorporates the specialities of different parts of the country, he mentioned granite from Rajasthan, timber from Maharashtra and carpet by Bhadhoi artisans.
The Prime Minister said that the new Parliament will give new energy and strength to the largest democracy of the world. He also expressed confidence that the new building of the Parliament will become the basis for the creation of a new, prosperous, strong and developed India. “This is an India that walks the path of policy, justice, truth, dignity and duty and becomes stronger," Prime Minister Modi maintained.
In his address, he also referred to the the last nine years that the government had been in power and said that any expert would treat these nine years as years of reconstruction and 'gareeb kalyan (welfare of the poor).
While expressing pride over the new Parliament House, he said he also felt satisfaction for the 4 crore houses constructed for the poor and measures like 11 crore toilets, more than 4 lakh km of roads to connect villages, more than 50 thousand Amrit Sarovars, and more than 30 thousand new Panchayat Bhawans. “From Panchayat Bhawans to Parliament only one inspiration guided us, that is, the development of the nation and its people”, he added.
