Union Housing Minister Hardeep Puri and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla joined Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a special event to reveal the national symbol that has been installed atop the new Parliament building on Monday.
Opposition parties, however, accused the Prime Minister of making it a personal event and questioned the constitutionality of the PM revealing the insignia atop the Parliament building following the ceremony. The BJP responded by claiming that the opposition parties’ claims are politically motivated.
The metal sculpture was created by artists Sunil Deore and Lakshman Vyas in Aurangabad, Jaipur, and Delhi. The Ashoka Emblem took the place of the former design, which included a spire on top of the structure, in 2020.
Before the Winter Parliament session, construction on the new Parliament, a ground plus two-story triangular structure, is anticipated to be finished. The Ashoka emblem was chosen to replace the spire that was originally supposed to crown the new Parliament.
The main entrance has been dubbed Constitution Hall since it will likely house a public exposition of the Constitution. The central foyer will also have a library.
According to a PMO statement, the concept sketch and casting procedure for the national anthem on the roof of the new Parliament building went through eight different stages of preparation, from clay modelling and computer graphics through bronze casting and polishing.
“Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji dedicated the new national flag that was placed atop the Parliament building. While the hopes of a new India will be realised by the new Parliament House, this national icon will continue to motivate us to preserve India’s unity, integrity, and sovereignty, according to a tweet from Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.
The Prime Minister received criticism from the opposition parties for revealing the national anthem cast atop the new Parliament building, which they described as a “obvious violation of the Constitution.”
