Mocking PM Modi in the US , Rahul Gandhi says he thinks he knows more than god

Addressing a gathering in San Francisco, Rahul sarcastically said there are people in India who think they know more than God and Modi is one such specimen. NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing the diaspora at the US, drawing a sharp counterattack from the BJP. Addressing a gathering in San Francisco, Rahul sarcastically said there are people in India who think they know more than God and Modi is one such specimen. We have a group of people in India who are absolutely convinced that they know everything. They think they know even more than God. They could sit down with God and have a conversation and explain to him what is going on. And of course, our prime minister is one such specimen, he said. I think if you sat Modi ji down next to God, Modi ji would start explaining to God how the universe works and God would get confused about what have I created, Rahul quipped. In his pushback, Union minister Anurag Thakur retorted that Rahuls insult of India during his foreign visits was unacceptable. He wants to insult Modi but ends up insulting India, questioning Indias progress. He is trying to defame India at a time the world is acknowledging our growing stature, said Thakur. Rahul in his address also criticised the inauguration of the new Parliament building, saying, These are distractions. The real issues are unemployment, price rise, the spread of anger and hatred, the crumbling education system, the price of education, and the price of health care. BJP cant really discuss them so then they have to do the whole sceptre thing.

Asaduddin Owaisi hits out at PM Modi over presence of Adheenams during new Parliament inauguration

AIMIM President and MP Asaduddin Owaisi on May 31 slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over presence of Adheenams during the inauguration ceremony of the new Parliament. He said that PM Modi should have included people of all religions as PM Modi is the Prime Minister of 130 crore people. Asaduddin Owaisi said, PM took people of only one religion inside the new Parliament building (during inauguration). He should have taken people of all religions as he is the PM of 130 crore people of India and not only of Hindus.

PM Modi claims Opposition insulted country'ssentiments by boycotting Parliament inauguration

Referring to the inauguration of the new Parliament building, Modi said such opportunities come once in generations, but the Congress used this for its selfish protest. AJMER: In his first remarks on the Congress-led Opposition boycotting the inauguration of the new Parliament building, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday said they insulted the sentiment of the country and the hard work of 60,000 labourers. India got a new Parliament building three days back. I ask you whether you are proud of it or not. Did you feel the joy on the increase in India's prestige? The Congress and some parties like it hurled muck of politics on this too, he said at a rally in Ajmer. Modi also said the Congress is a party that took 85 per cent commission, and referred to a statement by former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi that when his government sent one rupee only 15 paise would reach the intended beneficiary. The Congress and 20 other parties boycotted the inauguration of the new Parliament building by the prime minister on Sunday, saying it was an insult to President Droupadi Murmu, a tribal woman, that she was not invited by the government to do the honours. Referring to the inauguration of the new Parliament building, Modi said such opportunities come once in generations, but the Congress used this for its selfish protest. They insulted the hard work of 60,000 (Shramjivis) labourers and the sentiment of the country, he said, adding that Congress is unable to digest the progress India is making. Modi alleged the main Opposition party is angry because a son of the poor is not allowing it to do what it wants and is aising questions on their corruption and parivarwad (dynastic politics). The prime minister accused the Congress of following a policy of misleading the poor and keeping them deprived during its rule. Fifty years ago, Congress guaranteed that it will remove poverty. But it turned out to be their biggest betrayal to the poor. It has been a policy of the Congress to mislead the poor and keep them deprived. The people of Rajasthan have also suffered a lot due to this. The rally marked the start of a series of BJP public meetings over a month in a major outreach campaign as the party completes nine years in power at the Centre. The Congress-run Rajasthan goes to the polls this year-end. Before addressing the rally at Kayad Vishram Sthali on the Jaipur-Ajmer Road, Modi offered prayers at the Brahma temple in Pushkar. The nine years of the BJP government were dedicated to the service of people, good governance, and welfare of the poor, Modi said. Before 2014, he said, people were on the streets against corruption, terror attacks rocked major cities, crimes against women were rising, policies were in disarray, investors were disappointed and there was a superpower over the then-prime minister and his government was being run by remote control. During its rule, the Congress developed a corrupt system that sucked the country's blood, he said. Now, the prime minister said, people across the world are talking about India, and experts are saying India is very close to ending extreme poverty. Behind every success the country achieves, there is sweat of the people of India. The determination shown by every Indian to take the country forward is unique, but some people are not able to digest this, he said. When it comes to loot, the Congress does not discriminate against anyone. The Congress loots every citizen of the country equally be it poor, Dalit, oppressed, tribals, minorities, women or youths, he said. There has never been a dearth of money for development work in the country, the prime minister said. It is important that the money sent for development work is fully used in the work but the Congress had developed a corrupt system which was hollowing out the country, he said. Development accomplished under the last nine years has been possible as the BJP government eliminated the path of loot the Congress carved, Modi said, adding had the grand old party been in power such achievement was not possible. He said the general vaccination campaign run under the Congress government is an example of how the party played with the lives of crores of women and children. When the Congress government was in power, the vaccination coverage in the country was just about 60 per cent. At that time, 40 out of 100 pregnant women and children could not get life saving vaccines. Had the Congress government been there, it would have taken another 40 years for 100 per cent vaccination coverage. How many generations would have passed? A large number of poor women and children would have to lose their lives, he said. He said only 14 crore people had gas connections before 2014, and at that rate, it would have taken another 20 years to cover the entire country. But this situation was not acceptable to him, and therefore, the PM said, he ensured 19 crore gas connections are given in just nine years. He made similar comparisons for other schemes as well. He said that his government gave One Rank One Pension to soldiers, while the Congress etrayed brave soldiers over the issue. The OROP would not have seen the light of day if the Congress were in power, he said. Attacking the state government, he said people gave a mandate to the Congress but the chief minister, his ministers and MLAs are busy fighting among themselves, and there is instability and anarchy. The Congress in Rajasthan is not worried about the public. Crime is at its peak. People cannot celebrate festivals peacefully. The government has drowned in appeasement of terrorism, he said. He also alleged the Congress government has given a free hand to those who do not care about the interests of their daughters. In nine years, the BJP government paid attention to every problem related to mothers and sisters, he said, highlighting women's welfare schemes of his government. Union ministers Arjun Ram Meghwal, Kailash Chaudhary, Gajendra Singh, BJP state president CP Joshi, his predecessor Satish Poonia, former chief minister Vasundhara Raje, Leader of Opposition Rajendra Rathore and other leaders were also present on the stage. Modi began his 40-minute address by paying tributes to deities people in the area revere such as including Tejaji, Lord Devnarayan, Diggi Kalyan, Mata Shakambhari, Khoda Ganeshji. Hesaid Ajmer has been home to sages and also houses the dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. This was the second visit of Modi to Rajasthan in less than a month. Earlier this month, Modi visited Rajsamand and Sirohi districts.

Sena (UBT) launches scathing attack on nine years of BJP govt, calls PM Modi 'monarch'

The party in its mouthpiece 'Saamana' wrote that Modi had installed the 'Sengol' as a symbol of ransfer of power and established his monarchy. MUMBAI:In a searing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Shiv Sena (UBT) on Wednesday said citizens of the country were beset by several problems during the nine years of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government led by him, and said if this rule ends quickly, it will be good for the people. In an editorial in party mouthpiece 'Saamana', the Shiv Sena (UBT) said PM Modi on Sunday installed in the new Parliament building the 'Sengol' (sceptre) as a symbol of the transfer of power and established his monarchy, even as the 'Rajdharma' (duty of a king) is not being followed and corruption is being brushed under the carpet. According to Modi and his blind followers, India came into existence after 2014. The party, which had no role in the freedom struggle or building the nation has been in power for the last nine years. The Modi government's nine years of rule proved to be a nightmare for the country and people, and it will bode well for them if this rule comes to an end at the earliest, it said. In these nine years, the Modi government resorted to note-ban twice and the experiment failed. Unemployment increased during the rule. There was a rise in black money and the promise to provide jobs remained unfulfilled. Black money was used for bringing down governments led by BJP's rival parties in states, it alleged. PM Modi's blind followers believe that India's stature rose due to all of this, the party added. Modi installed the Sengol as a symbol of transfer of power and established his monarchy. How will the stature of the country rise due to this monarchy? the Uddhav Thackeray-led party asked. Modi on Sunday asserted the significance of Sengol as a symbol of the transfer of power saying that the sceptre will continue to inspire the parliamentarians in their duty. A ceremonial sceptre, 'Sengol', which is said to have been given to India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru to symbolise the transfer of power in August 1947 by the British, was kept in the Nehru Gallery of the Allahabad Museum and was installed in the Lok Sabha chamber of the new Parliament. Made of silver with a coat of gold, Sengol was originally used to mark the handing over power from one king to another during the Chola dynasty in Tamil Nadu.

International Olympic Committee calls treatment of protesting Indian wrestlers'very disturbing'

The IOC's reaction follows the United World Wrestling's (UWW) criticism of the detention of the grapplers during their protest at Jantar Mantar. NEW DELHI:The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has condemned the manner in which the protesting Indian wrestlers were being treated by Delhi Police over the weekend, terming it very disturbing in a strongly-worded statement. The IOC's reaction follows the United World Wrestling's (UWW) criticism of the detention of the grapplers during their protest at Jantar Mantar, in which the sport's world body threatened to suspend the national federation if it fails to hold its election within the stipulated time. The top wrestlers -- Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia and Sangeeta Phogat -- have accused the Wrestling Federation of India's (WFI) outgoing president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of sexual exploitation. The treatment of the Indian wrestling athletes over the weekend was very disturbing. The IOC insists that the allegations by the wrestlers are followed up on by an unbiased, criminal investigation in line with local law, the IOC said in the statement. We understand that a first step towards such a criminal investigation has been made, but more steps have to follow before concrete actions become visible. We urge that the safety and wellbeing of these athletes is duly considered throughout this process and that this investigation will be speedily concluded. Unprecedented scenes of police dragging Olympic and World Championships medallists, including Sakshi, Vinesh, Bajrang and Sangeeta, were witnessed when the wrestlers and their supporters breached the security cordon during their march towards the new Parliament building for the planned women's 'Mahapanchayat' on Sunday. The wrestlers are demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan for allegedly sexually harassing several women wrestlers, including a minor. The IOC further said in its statement, From the very beginning of the allegations, the IOC has been in close contact with United World Wrestling (UWW), which has already taken measures. The IOC supports UWW as the competent sporting authority to address this issue as it pertains to the governance of the sport of wrestling in India. We have been informed by UWW that the President of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) is currently not in charge. The IOC will continue to support UWW in all their efforts and in the framework of the IOC Guidelines for International Federations and NOCs for safeguarding athletes from harassment and abuse in sport. The IOC asked the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to take the necessary actions o protect the athletes and to make sure that the elections of WFI are happening as planned and in line with the regulations of UWW as an International Federation. The wrestlers had called for a women's Mahapanchayat at the new Parliament building at a time when it was being inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Expressing its disappointment over the lack of results of the investigations so far, the UWW on Tuesday said that the sports body will hold a meeting with the wrestlers to inquire about their condition and safety. Regarding the WFI elections, wrestling's international governing body said in its statement, ... UWW will request further information about the next elective general assembly from the IOA and the Ad-hoc Committee of the WFI. The 45-day deadline that was initially set to hold this elective assembly shall be respected. Failing to do so may lead UWW to suspend the federation, thereby forcing the athletes to compete under a neutral flag. It is reminded that UWW already took a measure in this situation by reallocating the Asian Championship planned in New Delhi earlier this year. On April 27, a two-member ad-hoc committee was formed to run the day-to-day affairs of WFI and also conduct the elections. It has been 34 days since, leaving the body with just 11 days to hold the polls.

'Disgrace that govt hasnt responded: Filmmaker Pa Ranjith on wrestlers protest

Protest The filmmaker's statement comes following a recent event where leading wrestlers in the country, travelled to Haridwar to symbolically immerse their medals in the river Ganges. Prominent Tamil filmmaker and producer Pa Ranjith has extended his support to the wrestlers who are currently protesting against Brij Bhushan, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament and Chief of the Wrestlers Federation of India (WFI). Bhushan has been accused of sexual assault by multiple wrestlers, including a minor. Ranjith expressed his solidarity with the wrestlers, stating, The champions who proudly represented India at the world championship have been subjected to a lack of dignity and respect. It is a disgrace that the government has remained silent in response to their protest and their decision to immerse their hard-earned medals in river water.

Akhand Bharat mural in Parliament triggers controversy

News The Akhand Bharat mural of New Parliament House triggers not only a furious debate on social media, but also draws international protests, neighbouring Nepal being first in queue. Twitter/Sachin Banna The Akhand Bharat mural on the walls of the new Parliament House seems to have triggered not only a furious debate on social media, but also drawn international protests, neighbouring Nepal being first in line. The mural shows a map of Akhand Bharat with names of ancient Indian kingdoms engraved on it. Akhand Bharat is an umbrella term that portrays the countries of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and India as one nation. The idea of Akhand Bharat, as per many Hindu nationalist organisations, is as old as Indian or Vedic civilisation and has purportedly been described in the ancient Indian scriptures. There are different definitions of the Akhand Bharat' based on different perspectives and ideologies. Some view it as a cultural concept that represents the historical and geographical extent of Indian civilization. Others view it as a political concept that advocates the reunification of the territories that were once part of British India or ancient India. Hindu nationalist organisations such as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Hindu Mahasabha have expressed their support for Akhand Bharat. RSS has propagated this idea through various publications such as Bodhmala, and media as well. They have described the word Rashtra as a combined region with cultural similarities, Hinduism being the dominant motif. Ironically, the first international protest has come from Nepal, which is also a Hindu-majority state - Baburam Bhattarai, former Prime Minister and leader of the Nepal Socialist Party has termed the mural as controversial and warned that the mural might lead to an unnecessary and harmful diplomatic row in the neighbourhood. In his tweet he has also challenged Indian political leaders to clarify their intent.

Protesting wrestlers return to their homes, did not speak in Haridwar due to 'silence vow'

On Tuesday, they threatened to immerse their medals into the holy river Ganga but the farmer leaders stopped them from taking the extreme step. NEW DELHI:The shell-shocked protesting wrestlers, except Sakshi Malik, have returned to their homes in Haryana, and did not speak with the waiting media in Haridwar due to a silence vow, a member of the protest group said on Wednesday. The grapplers had resumed their agitation against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on April 23 at Jantar Mantar and stayed there till May 28, the day they were detained by the Delhi Police during their march towards the new Parliament building. Immediately after their detention, the police cleared the protest site and made it clear that wrestlers will not be allowed back to the Jantar Mantar. The police action against the wrestlers drew criticism from different quarters. On Tuesday, they threatened to immerse their medals into the holy river Ganga but the farmer leaders stopped them from taking the extreme step. They were crying since morning. It is not easy to throw away even a medal won at district level and they were ready to throw away those big international medals. They were shell-shocked, not a word was coming out of their mouths, said a member of the protesting group. They had taken a silence vow for Tuesday and that's why they did not speak with anyone in Haridwar. All have returned to their respective homes but Sakshi is still in Delhi, he added. While the wrestlers did not address the media, they were seen having discussions among themselves, whispering in each other's ears. The mood was sombre when the wrestlers arrived at the famous Har ki Pauri with their medals as they wept and were being consoled by their family members. They did not carry out their threat and returned with their medals after farmer leaders sought five days to sort out their issues. ALSO READ | Delhi Police removestweet denying media reports on 'lack of evidence against WFI chief' The wrestlers have been demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan, who they have accused of sexual exploitation. Two FIRs were filed against him, including one in POCSO act, but it is now being claimed that the 'minor' who has filed a complaint against the WFI chief is actually not a minor. The oversight panel, which was formed by the government to probe the allegations, did not make its findings public but sources had claimed that the six-member committee did not find any incriminating evidence against Brij Bhushan. The WFI chief has denied all the charges and said that even if one allegation is proved, he will hang himself. Brij Bhushan has alleged political conspiracy behind the protest.

BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi starts running after reporter asks her about wrestlers protest

News When a reporter asked her for her comments on the protesting wrestlers announcing that they immerse their medals in the Ganga river, BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi started to run while evading the question. Union Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture Meenakshi Lekhi was seen breaking into a run when a reporter sought her comments on the wrestlers protest on Tuesday, May 31. A video clip of the incident has gone viral in social media, in which a woman reporter is heard asking in Hindi, Wrestlers are going to immerse their medals, what would you like to say about it? Lekhi, who was walking till then, picked up the pace of her walk until she broke into a sprint, as her staff members and others around her also began to run along with her. The reporter too, ran after her, repeating her question, to which Lekhi finally responded saying the legal process was underway. The reporter then questioned her about Prime Minister Narendra Modis silence on the issue and asked if Lekhi would like to say anything, being a woman MP. However, the MP continued to evade questions on the issue. The reporter was referring to the ongoing protests by Indian wrestlers demanding the arrest of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan who is accused of sexual harassment by several female wrestlers. On May 30, the wrestlers reached Haridwar with the intention of immersing their medals won in various international sports events in the Ganga river. However, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) president Naresh Tikait, known for his role in leading the 2020-21 farmers protests, requested the wrestlers not to do so, and proposed that the government be given five days time to meet their demands. Their demands include the immediate arrest of Brij Bhushan and a thorough investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment against him.

Wrestlers deserve justice like all citizens: Tovino Thomas, Anjali Menon show support

Protest While many big cricket and film stars are silent on the ongoing wrestlers protest against sexual harassment accused WFI chief Brij Bhushan, a few actors have expressed their solidarity. PTI image With three very telling photos of the recent attack on the wrestlers protesting in Delhi, Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas expressed solidarity with them, saying they deserve justice like any other citizen of the country, regardless of their achievements. He stated that the wrestlers demands for action against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh over alleged sexual harassment of female wrestlers must be heard. In doing so, he became one of the few members of the Malayalam film industry to address the protest which has even garnered international attention in the past few days. A day earlier, filmmaker Anjali Menon also voiced her support for the wrestlers, saying it was heartbreaking to see them go through such humiliation. Tovino shared photos of the wrestlers, including Vinesh Phogat, Sangeeta Phogat and Sakshi Malik, being manhandled by Delhi police and wrote in an Instagram post: They have brought us pride in international sports and fulfilled the expectations of a people. Even if you don't consider that, they should get the justice that they deserve like any other citizen in this country. They should not be neglected because the people in the opposition are too powerful. View this post on Instagram A post shared by TovinoThomas (@tovinothomas) A day earlier on Tuesday, Anjali Menon too wrote a social media post that began with the quote: The measure of a society lies in how it treats its women. She wrote that each of the protesting women wrestlers have attained glory after great struggle and deserve the justice they seek. Anjali also quoted shooter and Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra, who has expressed his support for the wrestlers, with the hope that it would inspire more sports stars to come forward and demand justice for them. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anjali Menon (@anjalimenonfilms) Others from the south Indian film industries who have spoken out on behalf of the protesting wrestlers are actors Kamal Haasan and Kishore (who shot to fame with the 2022 Kannada film Kantara), and director Pa Ranjith. However, most other big names in the film industry, including Bollywood stars, have been conspicuously silent about the issue, even when angry social media users questioned them about it. At the same time, many of them had commented positively on the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28, even as the protesting wrestlers weremanhandled by the police on their way to protest at the new Parliament House. The organisers of the protest, including wrestlers Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat, and Bajrang Punia who have been at its forefront, were booked by the police on various charges including rioting. Hindi actors Aamir Khan and Priyanka Chopra, who have acted in biopics about wrestlers and boxers (Dangal based on wrestlers Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari, and Mary Kom on Manipuri boxer Mary Kom), were particularly criticised for their silence. Tovino too has acted in a movie about a female wrestler in Malayalam. He played the male lead in Godha, a film that told the story of a woman (played by Wamiqa Gabbi) who gets to fulfill her wrestling dreams on coming to Kerala. Incidentally, Tovino is also one of the few actors to havespoken out about the controversial film The Kerala Story, which many politicians, journalists, and viewers have criticised for spreading propaganda and misrepresenting the number of women who had been radicalised from Kerala. During a promotional event for his film 2018, based on the Kerala floods of that year, Tovino said that based on the trailer of The Kerala Story, he did not think it told the story of the state he grew up in. On the other hand, the film 2018 showed what it was like when a whole state stood together to face the floods, he said at the time.

Mamata Banerjee takes to Kolkata streets to protest manhandling of wrestlers

The CM was flanked by former women footballers Kuntala Ghosh Dastidar and Shanti Mallick, ex-soccer players Alvito D'Cunha, Rahim Nabi, and Dipendu Biswas and several others. KOLKATA: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday took to the streets here to protest against the alleged manhandling of wrestlers at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar after they tried to march towards the new Parliament building following its inauguration three days ago. Holding a placard with the message, We Want Justice, written on it, Banerjee participated in a rally which started at Hazra Road crossing in the southern part of the city and culminated at Rabindra Sadan, the cultural hub of the eastern metropolis. Banerjee joined the 2.8-km rally at Bhabanipur, her own constituency. She was flanked by former women footballers Kuntala Ghosh Dastidar and Shanti Mallick, ex-soccer players Alvito D'Cunha, Rahim Nabi, and Dipendu Biswas and several other sports personalities and common people. State minister Arup Biswas and cricketer-turned-minister Manoj Tiwary spearheaded the rally organised by the sports department to show solidarity towards the protesting wrestlers. The wrestlers are demanding the arrest of the Wrestling Federation of India's former chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh who is accused of sexually harassing several women grapplers. The rally was organised a day after the country's top wrestlers, including Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, along with hundreds of their supporters, reached Har ki Pauri to immerse their medals in the river Ganga but were persuaded by Khap and farmer leaders not to do so. The wrestlers, who were protesting at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi since April 23 demanding the arrest of Singh, were removed from the site by the police on May 28 after they tried to march towards the new Parliament building. They were detained, before being released later.

'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' now 'Beti BJP ke netaon se bachao':Congress slams govt on wrestlersprotest

We want to ask the prime minister and government why they did not even appeal, urging the wrestlers not to immerse their medals, Congress MP Depender Hooda asked at a press conference. NEW DELHI: The Congress on Thursday claimed the BJP's slogan of 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' now means 'Beti BJP ke netaon se bachao' (save daughters from BJP leaders)' and also hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not making an appeal to the protesting wrestlers urging them not to immerse their medals in the Ganga. The Congress' attack came a day after the matter escalated as the protesting wrestlers reached Haridwar on the banks of the Ganga, threatening to immerse their World and Olympic medals in the river but were stopped from doing so by farmer leaders who sought five days to address their grievances. Olympic medallists Sakshi Malik, Bajrang Punia, and Asian Games gold medallist Vinesh Phogat had reached Har ki Pauri to protest the inaction against Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accused of sexually harassed women grapplers. Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters, Congress MP Depender Hooda said, These medals are their life, they represent their struggle, their families' sacrifices and the nation's pride. What kind of a cruel government is this. We want to ask the prime minister and government why they did not even appeal, urging the wrestlers not to immerse their medals. The prime minister and ministers who used to queue up to get photographs with these sportspersons when they won medals, did not even issue an appeal. It sent a message that they are not only anti-sportspersons but also anti-medals, the Congress leader from Haryana said. You talk of Uniform Civil Code, will that not be applicable to the BJP leaders, is there a separate law for them? Hooda asked. He also accused the BJP of bringing in caste, religion and regionalism in an issue which is about justice for daughters. If a girl seeks justice then getting her justice is raj dharma. When Parliament was being inaugurated, the manner in which women were dragged around, everyone saw, Hooda said, slamming the government. Why so much hate for sportspersons? Country is pained that the prime minister did not even appeal urging wrestlers to not immerse their medals in Ganga, he said. Speaking at the presser, Olympic medallist boxer and Congress leader Vijender Singh said the entire episode was reminiscent of the 1960 incident when the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, then Cassius Clay, threw his Olympic gold medal into the Ohio river to protest racial segregation in the US. He said like people rallied behind Ali they must do so now in support of the daughters of the country who are fighting for justice. The wrestlers, who had been protesting at Jantar Mantar since April 23 seeking the arrest of Singh, were removed from the site by the police on Sunday after they tried to march to the new Parliament building following its inauguration. They were detained before being released later. Last month, the Delhi Police registered two FIRs against Singh. The first FIR pertains to allegations levelled by a minor which has been registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act along with relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code concerning outraging modesty. The second one has been registered over complaints by adults pertaining to outraging modesty.

Due to this, he fiercely attacked Prime Minister Modi and the BJP government. I think the inauguration of the new Parliament building is to divert attention from the real issues.

They (BJP) tried their best to stop our Bharat Jodo Yatra. They used police and agencies. But they failed in all their attempts. You all helped us, so nothing worked against us.

Olympic gold in the Ohio river: How Muhammad Ali set a precedent for Indian wrestlers

Protest The wrestlers' move to immerse their medals in the Ganga, which was later halted following the intervention of BKU leader Naresh Tikait, brought back memories of the legend of Muhammad Ali throwing his Olympic gold medal away. Muhammad Ali in 1966 / Wiki Commons / CCBYSA3 One of the best-known athletes in boxing history, Muhammad Ali, may have set a precedent for the protesting Indian wrestlers by throwing his hard won Olympic gold medal in the Ohio River decades ago. Sporting legend has it that the American boxer and civil rights activist threw his Olympic gold medal into the river after he was refused service in a restaurant in racially-segregated Louisville. On Tuesday, May 30, a group of Indian wrestlers declared that they would do something similar. They sat on the banks of the Ganga, to throw their Olympic gold medals into the river, after weeks of protesting against the sexual harassment they allegedly faced from BJP leader and Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. The wrestlers who have been leading the protest against Brij Bhushan Sakshi Malikk, Vinesh Phogat, and Bajrang Punia had said that they would immerse their Olympic and World Championship medals in the Ganga on Tuesday, after days of no response from the government. But on Tuesday evening, Bharatiya Kisan Union president Naresh Tikait took possession of the medals and gave the government five-days time to address the wrestlers demands. Earlier on Sunday, the protestors had been detained by the police when they marched to the new Parliament building in New Delhi, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Brij Bhushan, a Member of Parliament, was also inside the new building at the time. The wrestlers decision to throw away their medals took you back to the disputed story of Muhammed Ali throwing his medals in the Ohio River. Muhammad Ali, known for his famous refusal to take part in the Vietnam War and thereby lost his heavyweight title, is said to have thrown the medal that he won at the Rome Games of 1960 after an incident of racial discrimination. In his autobiography The Greatest, co-written with Richard Durham, Muhammad Ali wrote that the incident happened when he went to a luncheonette in Louisville, where Black people were not allowed to dine at the time. He wore his medal and asked for a meal, but was refused service. Reports also suggested that perhaps this incident did not happen and that the medal was lost somehow. They say that his friends claimed he would never have thrown the medal away, as it had meant a lot for him. The boxer himself is said to have later quipped that he didn't know what he did with the medal. Another athlete, Welma Rudolph, who was close to Muhammad,told the Sports Illustrated, I can still see him strutting around the village with his gold medal on. He slept with it. He went to the cafeteria with it. He never took it off. No one else cherished it the way he did. An NBC report noted this statement, going on to say that when Ali told the story in his autobiography, he had written, And I felt no pain and no regret. Only relief, and a new strength. A Wikipedia entry regarding Muhammads book offers another perspective. As for the gold medal story, Ali came to deny it was true when the book came out, the entry quoted Toni Morrison, the Nobel Prize-winning Black American novelist, as having said. The entry also adds that Toni Morrison was at the time of the publication of Ali's autobiography, working as an editor for the publishing company Random House. According to this entry, Morrison also said, I think it was at a press conference where he was asked about the medal and he said, I don't remember where I put that. He also said he hadn't read the book. So he, in a sense, discredited the book in a way that was unfair to the stories he had told Richard in the first place, or to the stories Richard may have invented to make a point. In 1996, Muhammad was given a replacement medal at the Atlanta Olympics, at which he had also lit the torch. The medal was presented to him by International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch.

Digvijay: 'The new parliament building is a copy of the old parliament of Somalia'

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday inaugurated the new Parliament building in New Delhi. Several opposition parties had boycotted the event demanding that the inauguration be done by the President. The RJD had also made a controversial tweet about the design of the new Parliament building. Meanwhile, TMC MP Jawahar Sircar and Congress leader Digvijay Singh said about the new Parliament building that its design has been copied from the old Parliament of the African country Somalia. Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sarkar tweeted that Modi's 'pet' architect from Gujarat has charged Rs 230 crore for imitating Somalia's old parliament. Somalia has rejected its old Parliament, it is an inspiration for new India! Modi's pet architect from Gujarat who always gets Modi's mega contracts through competitive bidding (in Ahmedabad, Varanasi, Delhi's Parliament + Central Vista) charged us Rs 230 crore for copying Somalia's design. Retweeting Sarkar's tweet, Congress MP Digvijaya Singh tagged PM Modi and wrote, Can you believe that the Parliament building rejected by Somalia is the inspiration of our Prime Minister. Digvijay wrote, Full numbers to Jawahar Sarkar. Can you believe that the Parliament building rejected by Somalia is an inspiration for our PM Modi? Tagging the PMC, the Congress leader has demanded that the copy cat recover Rs 230 crore from the architect. Earlier, RJD had also raised questions about its design. The RJD had tweeted comparing the new Parliament building to a coffin and asked what it was. However, later it was clarified by RJD that his tweet was misinterpreted. Through the tweet, the RJD had asked whether democracy is being locked in a coffin and its temple is being inaugurated. At the same time, the BJP reacted strongly to this tweet, saying that this tweet will prove to be the last nail in the coffin of your politics.

JD(U) wants Nitish to run for LS from Phulpur in UP

LUCKNOW : Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar, might run for the Lok Sabha in 2024 from the Phulpur district in Uttar Pradesh. Senior JD(U) leader Dhananjay Singh hinted in this direction when he indicated that party members in Uttar Pradesh wanted Nitish Kumar to run for the seat. The Phulpur constituency, which has previously been held by past prime ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and V.P. Singh, is seen by JD(U) leaders as being ideal for Nitish Kumar because Kurmis, the Chief Minister's caste, predominate there. Keshari Devi Patel, the BJP's current representative for Phulpur, is also Kurmi. Prior to the 2024 parliamentary elections, Dhananjay Singh stated that the party is attempting to bring together the Opposition, including the Samajwadi Party (SP), Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), and the Congress, in order to prevent the BJP from retaking power. We believe that it is essential to prevent the BJP from retaking power. This is extremely likely to happen if the opposition joins together and the election is between the NDA and the UPA. Our leaders are making an effort to unite the SP, BSP, and Congress in the state. RLD (Rashtriya Lok Dal) has already partnered with the SP, the national general secretary of the JD(U), Dhananjay Singh said. He continued by expressing optimism that the BSP would also support the JD(U). In a bid to unite opposition parties under one banner, Nitish Kumar recently met SP leader Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow. He has also spoken with Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, the leaders of the Congress, in Delhi. In Uttar Pradesh, the BJP and its allies Apna Dal (Sonelal) won 64 Lok Sabha seats in 2019, while the BSP, SP, and Congress won 10, 5, and 1 seats, respectively. Three states -- Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand -- have a total of 134 parliamentary seats, stated Dhananjay Singh. We're trying to take between 60% and 70% of the seats. The party is laying the groundwork in Uttar Pradesh as well, and we are getting ready to run for six seats there. We can win more than 50 seats in the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh if we campaign together. Nitish ji wants the entire UPA to run in elections together to face the BJP head-on.

Protesting wrestlers to throw their medals into the Ganga, start indefinite fast

Protest The wrestlers said they could not surrender their medals to the Prime Minister as he did not take care of the daughters of his house. After being manhandled and detained by the Delhi police on the inaugural day of the new Parliament building, protesting Indian wrestlers Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia have said that they will immerse their Olympic medals in Ganga river in Haridwar at 6 pm on Tuesday, May 30. In a statement issued on Tuesday by Sakshi Malik, the Olympians have said they will sit on a fast unto death after throwing the medals into the Ganga. After we let these medals go, the purpose of our lives will flow away with them. And so, we will sit on a hunger strike until death at India Gate. We will always be indebted to this great nation, the statement said. It also said that they could not surrender their medals to the Prime Minister as he did not take care of the daughters of his house. Rather, our oppressor was invited to the inauguration of the new Parliament and he was posing for photographs in bright white clothes, Sakshi said. The three wrestlers have been protesting for nearly a month seeking the arrest of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan. The BJP MP faces accusations of sexually harassing athletes, including a minor. Sakshi further said, You all saw what happened on 28th May. How the police treated us. How brutally we were arrested. We were doing a peaceful movement. The place of our agitation was also vandalised by the police and snatched away from us, and the next day an FIR was lodged against us. Have women wrestlers committed any crime by demanding justice for the sexual harassment that happened to them? The police and the system are treating us like criminals, while the oppressor is cracking down on us in open meetings. pic.twitter.com/wdMCzeADEo Sakshee Malikkh (@SakshiMalik) May 30, 2023 The Delhi Police on Sunday detained Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, and several wrestlers who attempted to march towards the new Parliament during its inauguration, seeking justice. The heartbreaking visuals showed the athletes who brought glory to India, being dragged away and overpowered by the police. Further, they even filed cases against them under several sections for sitting in protest at Jantar Mantar. The incident was condemned by many Opposition parties. Pointing out that Brij Bhushan wants to even amend the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, she said that the women wrestlers are feeling hopeless and have nothing left in this country. Now it seems that these medals that adorned our necks have no meaning left. We were feeling death just thinking of returning them, but what to live even after compromising our self-respect. The question came as to whom to return. To our President, who herself is a woman. But our conscience did not allow it, because she was just 2 km away from us and just kept watching but did not say anything. Where is our place in this shining system, where is the place of daughters of India? Have we become mere slogans or just an agenda to come to power? The statement also said, We are going to shed these medals into the Ganga, because as holy as we consider the Ganga, that is how holy our hard work was in getting these medals. These medals are sacred for the whole nation and the right place to place these sacred medals can only be in Mother Ganga, and not in our unholy system that after using us as a mask and taking advantage of us now stands in support of our harasser. Medal is our life, our soul. After they get washed away in the Ganges, there will be no point in our living. Sakshi said that after discarding their medals, their life will have no meaning and because of it they will sit on a fast unto death at India Gate. India Gate is the place of our martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Ajit Pawar liked the new Parliament House, NCP boycotted the inauguration, Sharad Pawar criticized it

Mumbai: Not everything is going well in Sharad Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Maharashtra. First Sharad Pawar's resignation and then the struggle to withdraw it, in the meantime, many big political statements of Ajit Pawar kept the political mercury hot. Now Ajit Pawar has once again given such a political stir. Actually, Sharad Pawar's nephew Ajit Pawar has no problem with the new Parliament building, on the contrary, he has liked it. According to media reports, Ajit Pawar said about the new Parliament building that we should not forget that the population of the country is going to cross 135 crore, in such a situation, more space will be needed when the growing people have to be represented. That is why my personal view is that this new Parliament Building was needed. Anyway, it has been prepared in record time in the crisis period of the Corona epidemic. However, Ajit's stand is completely opposite to Sharad Pawar's views. Sharad Pawar had even said that it was good that he did not go to the inauguration ceremony. I watched the ceremony in the morning. I'm glad I didn't go there. I am worried about what happened there. Are we taking the country backwards? Was the event only for a limited number of people? he said, adding that what happened was in sharp contrast to former PM Jawaharlal Nehru's concept of society.

At India Gate in New Delhi, they will then participate in an ongoing hunger strike. Olympic bronze winner Sakshi Malik announced the information on Twitter.

BRS leader claims delimitation of LS will be 'injustice' to southern states

Delimitation of Lok Sabha seats after 2026 will be a gross injustice to southern states if it is taken up on the basis of population, BRS leader and Telangana Minister K T Rama Rao said on Tuesday. The minister's view comes amid reports that the BJP-led government at the Centre would take up the delimitation process of Parliamentary constituencies if the BJP retains power in 2024 general elections. The Lok Sabha chamber in the new Parliament building, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28, has thrice the number of seats with enough space for 888 members, and the new Rajya Sabha has the capacity to seat 384 members. This is in light of the fact that a delimitation exercise at some point in future would lead to a rise in the number of MPs in the country.

Southern states will suffer 'gross injustice' when delimitation of Lok Sabha takes place:KT Rama Rao

This is in light of the fact that a delimitation exercise at some point in future would lead to a rise in the number of MPs in the country. HYDERABAD: Delimitation of Lok Sabha seats after 2026 will be a gross injustice to southern states if it is taken up on the basis of population, BRS leader and Telangana Minister KT Rama Rao said on Tuesday. The minister's view comes amid reports that the BJP-led government at the Centre would take up the delimitation process of Parliamentary constituencies if the BJP retains power in 2024 general elections. The Lok Sabha chamber in the new Parliament building, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 28, has thrice the number of seats with enough space for 888 members, and the new Rajya Sabha has the capacity to seat 384 members. This is in light of the fact that a delimitation exercise at some point in future would lead to a rise in the number of MPs in the country. According to the 84th Amendment of the Constitution, the constituency borders were frozen until the first census after 2026, or at least until after 2031. The 1971 Census continues to serve as the foundation for the current Lok Sabha seat allocation.At present, the lower house of Parliament has 543 seats. Rama Rao, in a press release, said the southern states that adhered to the policies of the Centre and controlled the population with a progressive mindset are likely to suffer severe injustice with the population-based delimitation. He expressed apprehension that it is unfair and painful that the southern states may get fewer Lok Sabha seats due to the delimitation and on the other hand, it is unfortunate that the states, especially the ones in the northern region, are benefiting from the increase in Lok Sabha seats. The BRS leader claimed the benefits would go to the northern states that do not control the population despite the central government's appeals. The states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana, which controlled population, are being severely punished for their progressive policies today, he said. According to him, the southern states are at the forefront in not only population control but also all kinds of human development indicators. Rama Rao claimed that the southern states with only 18 per cent population contribute to 35 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and are contributing so much to the national economic development and the country as a whole. He made an appeal to the leaders and people of the southern states to speak out against the injustice going beyond politics.

Odishas folk art adorn new Parliament building's Constitution Hall

Six women artists from the state have decorated the Constitution Hall in the new Parliament with Dongria Kondh painting, Soura art and Pattachitra as a part of an 80 x 9 ft mural. BHUBANESWAR: Thebrass replica of Konark Sun temple is not the only link between Odisha and the new Parliament building that was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday. Six women artists from the state have decorated the Constitution Hall in the new Parliament with Dongria Kondh painting, Soura art and Pattachitra as a part of an 80 x 9 ft mural on the theme Jan, Janani and Janmabhumi focussing on woman as a creator, protector and nature. Called the Peoples Wall art project and curated by Lalit Kala Akademi at New Delhi, it has been implemented (sutradhar) by Bhubaneswar-based national award winning Odia artist Satyabhama Majhi. The central idea of the artwork was to create an extremely spatial space for the idea of mother - as a creator, nature and protector. For this, we focused on tribal and folk art forms of India including those from Odisha, said Ramakrishna Vedala, secretary of the akademi. He said of the 75 women artists from the grassroots who were roped in from all parts of the country, the highest 16 were from Bihar followed by six from Odisha and four each from Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. Those from Odisha are two Dongria Kondh artists Telo Wadaka, Lahari Kundika, Soura painter Jhili Gomango, Patta painter Jyoti Maharana and contemporary artists Snehalata Maharana and Rupali Ruchismita Kar. Elaborating on the project, Majhi said, Since worshiping the river is an essential part of our cultural upbringing, we showed the river as the common element in the art work. All the 75 participating women artists drew their art around the river, she said. The river was drawn in the Gond style of painting which is found in both Odisha and MP. All the paintings were made using organic colours like it is traditionally done in the case of Dongria, Soura and Pattachitra. It was a blessed opportunity for us to leave an imprint of our culture on the Parliament wall, said one of the artists Rupali.

Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the new Parliament building on Sunday even as around 20 opposition parties, including the TMC, boycotted the event, alleging that President Droupadi Murmu has been denied the right to inaugurate the building and called it an insult to India's first woman president from the tribal community. They have built a new parliament building by spending crores of rupees. The Centre is also spending crores of rupees on the Central Vista project. Whereas they have kept Rs 7,500 crores pending for the 100 days MGNREGA scheme in the State, Abhishek said. The new parliament building was completed in about two-and-a-half years at an estimated cost of nearly Rs 1,200 crore. The TMC leader said he never had any issues in sitting in the old parliament. As an MP, I never had any problem sitting in the old parliament building. The parliament is in session for nearly 40 days a year, and around 800 MPs are members of either Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha. yet they are spending crores of rupees on new buildings, he said. The TMC national general secretary alleged the Centre, has stopped the funds due to Bengal at the instance of the ruling BJP party. They are depriving the poor people of West Bengal by denying MGNREGA funds to Bengal. It (BJP) is trying to punish the State's people for their defeat in the last assembly poll in 2021, he said while addressing a rally in the Debra area in Paschim Midnapur district. Banerjee was addressing the rally as part of the 'Trinamool-eh Nabajowar' (new wave in Trinamool) mass outreach campaign. His remark drew sharp reactions from the BJP, which dubbed the allegations baseless. The TMC has a habit of levelling baseless allegations. The funds have been stopped as the state government has not submitted funds utilization certificates, BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar said.

'Haunted by images': Olympic shooter Abhinav Bindrareacts to manhandling of wrestlers during protest

The wrestlers are demanding the arrest of outgoing WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for allegedly sexually harassing several women wrestlers, including a minor. NEW DELHI: India's first individual Olympic gold medallist shooter Abhinav Bindra has denounced the police action against the country's top wrestlers at Jantar Mantar, saying the horrific images had left him sleepless and haunted. Unprecedented scenes of police dragging Olympic and world championships medallists, including Sakshi Malik, Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia and Sangeeta Phogat, were witnessed when the wrestlers and their supporters breached the security cordon ahead of their march towards the new Parliament building for the planned women's 'Mahapanchayat'. The wrestlers are demanding the arrest of outgoing WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for allegedly sexually harassing several women wrestlers, including a minor. They had called for a women's Mahapanchayat at the new Parliament building at a time when it was being inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Last night was sleepless, haunted by the horrifying images of my fellow Indian wrestlers protesting, tweeted Bindra, even as India's most successful footballer Sunil Chhetri and former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan too criticised the action against the wrestlers. It's high time we establish independent safeguarding measures across sporting organizations. We must ensure that if such situations arise, they are dealt with utmost sensitivity and respect. Every athlete deserves a safe and empowering environment, added Bindra, the 2008 Beijing Olympics gold medallist in air rifle. On Sunday, as the wrestlers tried to breach the barricades and march towards the new Parliament building from Jantar Mantar, the police personnel shoved and pushed them before detaining them and taking them to different police stations in Delhi. Vinesh provided a strong resistance against her detention and Sangeeta clung on to her cousin while lying on the road as the struggle continued for a few minutes. The police officials dragged and lifted them into buses along with several other wrestlers and their supporters. Though they were released after seven hours of detention, it left several athletes in other disciplines anguished. Why does it have to come down to our wrestlers being dragged around without any consideration? This isn't the way to treat anyone. I really hope this whole situation is assessed the way it should be, said India football captain Chhetri. Pathan said a solution to the issue should be found immediately. I'm so sad to see the visuals of our Athletes. Please solve this ASAP, Pathan tweeted.

Why singer Chinmayis stand on wrestler Sakshi Maliks wedding photo is relevant

Opinion The common factor between Chinmayi and Sakshis experiences is that they have both called out alleged sexual harassers who are extremely powerful and politically cushioned. Indias champion wrestlers have been putting up a spirited fight for over a month at New Delhis Jantar Mantar demanding the arrest of Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Singh for alleged sexual harassment. As they continue to be ignored by the government, their humiliation culminating in physical detention by the police on the inaugural day of the new Parliament building, a photograph from Olympian Sakshi Maliks wedding in 2017 has been doing the rounds on social media. In the photo, Sakshi, an Olympic bronze medalist and one of the wrestlers leading the Jantar Mantar protests, is seen dressed in wedding attire greeting Brij Bhushan. Why invite your harasser to your wedding? asked many on social media, demanding a justification from Sakshi. Meanwhile, singer Chinmayi Sripada, who called out Tamil lyricist and poet Vairamuthu for sexual harassment a few years ago, tweeted that a woman has no choice but to mingle with her molester if he is in a position of power. Sakshi re-shared this tweet, making it clear that it resonated with her. Chinmayi was put through the same cycle of cyber-shaming after a picture from her wedding surfaced, in which she was seen greeting Vairamuthu. Chinmayi also put up the results of a Twitter poll she had posted earlier this month asking people to vote if their molester is someone from their family or someone they are forced to interact with at close family gatherings. 64.7% of the voters said that their molesters were close family whom they could not avoid, or were too scared to tell their parents about. Pinning the tweet to her Twitter wall, Chinmayi wrote: Lets take a head count of how many offenders should have been in jail but arent because of The Great Indian Family Honour. Since many are asking How can you invite your molester to your wedding? Raise your hand if your molester A - Is a relative B - Your family invites them to all family events forcing you to interact with them C - You are too scared to tell your family D - All of The Above Chinmayi Sripaada (@Chinmayi) May 1, 2023 #mc_embed_signup{background:#fff; clear:left; font:14px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; } /* Add your own Mailchimp form style overrides in your site stylesheet or in this style block.

We must note here that as far as we know, Sakshi Malik is not a complainant in the allegations against Brij Bhushan. She is amplifying the complaints of her colleagues and leading the protest in solidarity with them. The reality is that for most women who are sexually abused or harassed, their perpetrators are often those who are very closely known to them, giving them an institutional and emotional upper hand to twist the narrative in their favour. Additionally, if like Brij Bhushan the person holds considerable power at the survivors workplace, it becomes almost impossible for the survivor to battle such clout without endangering herself and her opportunities. Not all women can afford to lose daily sustenance and come out publicly with a #metoo account against a powerful predator. The situation in New Delhi is a testimony to the kind of pushback such women albeit being international champions in their fields have to face. Sexual harassment is not something that happens in isolation of a persons social location, identity, social capital, clout, and other intersectional factors. Women often have no option but to be pally with their harassers in social circles to ensure that they are not further targeted. This does not take away the triggering anxiety of gulping their pride and struggling through the ordeal just so that they can survive. Many on social media mocked Sakshi and the other protesters, asking them to return their national accolades if they were so disappointed with the government. Their medals are no favour, as they have earned them by fighting against all odds in a society that only expects women to fall in line. Besides, winning an award for professional excellence does not include an agreement to keep quiet about institutional abuse. One should be really naive to believe that we live in a world where women can easily distance themselves from their harassers, start afresh, and still thrive. Being cordial with a harasser and calling them out are not contradictory, and do not take away from the gravity of the harassment. If there is anything contradictory here, it is the existence of a system that favours harassers and forces women to explain themselves on social media, in courts, before family, and everywhere else, while being dragged humiliatingly into detention vans. Chinmayi also recounted the ordeal of complaining against her harasser. Vairamuthu, who was named by Chinmayi and many other women, continues to be feted by politicians and political parties in Tamil Nadu, including the ruling DMK and Chief Minister MK Stalin. Tagging Stalin who had expressed his solidarity with the protesting wrestlers, Chinmayi reminded him that his party continues to give Vairamuthu a platform. 17+ women have named your friend / supporter Mr Vairamuthu who continues to enjoy your proximity which he uses to silence women who speak up even more. Your party continues to platform him, as have other politicians in Tamil Nadu. With almost 5 years of facing a work ban in the Tamil Film Industry and fighting a case with Honble City Civil Court there seems to be no end in sightI have filed a complaint with the NCW way back in 2018-2019 because that was the only route available for many of us, and handed a handwritten complaint to police officers that came home to investigateThe rules cannot be different for Vairamuthu and Brij Bhushan she wrote. .@mkstalin Respected Honble CM, Sir, It is amazing you show support to the cause of justice to sexual harassment survivors every time a case comes to notice across India. When political leaders speak there is hope for change. However there are no systems in place yet - No ICC Chinmayi Sripaada (@Chinmayi) May 29, 2023 The common factor between Chinmayi and Sakshis experiences is that they have both called out alleged sexual harassers who are extremely powerful and politically cushioned. The larger pattern seen here is how women who call out sexual harassment are ignored to the point of humiliation and subdued through all means possible, physical detention included. To belittle the complaints of as many as seven women players, including a minor, against the first in command of Indias Wrestling Federation with victim-blaming is unbecoming of anyone who believes in justice.

Parliament Building Inauguration is 'Religion-Based', Remarks Kerala CM

CALICUT : Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has made a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre, alleging that the inauguration of the new Parliament building was yet another illustration of the deliberate attempts being made to attack democracy in the nation. The Chief Minister was speaking an event in memory of late minister MP Veerendrakumar on Sunday. Addressing the occasion, CM Vijayan stated, The opening of Parliament is the finest example of the deliberate attacks on democracy that are occurring today. Secularism is under intense attack in our nation. The RSS wants to convert India into a religious nation because they disagree with it being a secular country. The religious ceremony shouldn't take place in the Parliament, CM Vijayan remarked In a democratic administration, what occurred in the Parliament should not be happening. It turned into a religious ceremony for a specific religion, which is inappropriate for a secular country. A crucial period is being experienced by the nation. Numerous groups are threatening democracy. The BJP wants a religious nation, he said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated the new Parliament building to the country earlier on Sunday. In addition, he put the revered Sengol immediately next to the Lok Sabha chairman's chair and took part in the sarva dharma prarthana (multi-faith prayer), during which priests of all faiths chanted their respective verses. The CM of Kerala further slammed the BJP-led Central Government over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). We are all citizens of India. Because India is a secular country, our citizenship was not determined by our faith. However, the CAA was implemented in our nation, overturning all preexisting guidelines. It was done to prove that citizenship is determined by an individual's faith. In the nation, there was a loud protest against this. Kerala previously stated that it wouldn't be applied here. We still support it, he remarked.

JD(U) slams RS Dy Chair Harivansh for attending Parliament inauguration

Sceptre in Parliament symbolises rod of fascism: MB Rajesh

Politics Beginning with the dominance of PM Narendra Modi as he overrode the President in the new Parliament building inauguration, Kerala Minister Rajesh went on to associate the many changes brought on by the BJP as symbols of fascism. On May 28, the birth anniversary of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ideologue VD Savarkar, a sceptre was dug out from history and handed over to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to place in the new Parliament building began a long Facebook note by MB Rajesh, Keralas Minister of Local Self Governments. His note, he said, was not meant to explain the sceptre history that has been dismantled within a few hours of its emergence on WhatsApp University. It talked instead of the dangerous political overtones of the Indian Prime Minister overriding the President who is the head of the nation and both Houses of Parliament under the Constitution, and installing himself as the highest office of the nation. Rajesh, who was earlier the Speaker of the Kerala Assembly, detailed the many implications that Sundays Parliament inauguration will have in the country. Beginning with the dominance of Narendra Modi as he overrode the President in the inauguration, Rajesh went on to associate the many changes brought on by the BJP as symbols of fascism. Modis dominance recalls a familiar slave phrase from the Emergency period of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi the country means Modi, Modi means the country, Rajesh wrote. The sceptre too, that Amit Shah (Home Minister) and Modi brought to the fore attains a big difference when it switches its location to the Parliament, Rajesh opined. Taken from the museum where Indias first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had kept it, the sceptre a symbol of royal power coming to the new India after 2014 is a rod of fascism falling on democracy, he said. The Sangh Parivar, which dictates BJPs Hindutva ideology, can claim no role in the freedom struggle and saw independence as a mere ceremony of transfer of power, in Rajeshs words. He went on to add that it was not so for the crores of people who took part in the Indian National Movement, building a Constitution that guaranteed liberty, justice, equality, and fraternity. What the Constitution did was to make the people sovereign in independent India. If the sovereignty of the people is to be respected, what should be placed in the new Parliament is the famous preamble of the Constitution which begins with 'We the People, and not a sceptre, Rajesh wrote. Read: Sengol has bent on the very first day: TN CM Stalin on wrestlers detention The Sangh Parivar went in search of the sceptre to fulfil its failed dream in 1947 of winning power to form a Hindu Nation, he said, asking, What else is the message of that sceptre, if not that of a fascist religious state that takes over the constitutional values and secular-democratic ideals of India? Rajesh also called attention to the protest of wrestlers that reached a pinnacle on Sunday when they were manhandled and detained by the police, outside the new Parliament building. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the BJP MP and head of the Wrestling Federation of India who the protesters accuse of sexual harassment, had a seat inside the Parliament. All this symbolised the New India, Rajesh said. Even the new sculpture of Lion Capital of Ashoka in Sarnath installed atop the Parliament is a world away from the peaceful ones that adorned the Ashoka pillar at Sarnath, Rajesh noted. Every one of these symbols enforce the fascist logic of the regime. Otherwise, why would the inauguration ceremony of the Parliament be marked by yagna and yaga, defying the scientific awareness that the Constitution promotes, he asked. Along with the Parliament, a manufactured history was also being inaugurated, Rajesh said. Installing Savarkars image in the Central Hall when his vision opposed Gandhis is proof of that. One image of an accused (Savarkar) in the Gandhi assassination, he said, could not penetrate the great national movement symbolised by the Central Hall, the venue for the great debates of writing the Constitution, where the words of Nehru welcomed India to freedom and life while the rest of the world was sleeping, where Bhagat Singh's bombing exploded on the deaf ears of British power, where many brilliant moments of history were witnessed. That is why they were creating parallel history with a golden sceptre now, Rajesh wrote. He also wondered why the new building has a Constitution Hall, when the historic Central Hall where the original constitution was made is right next door. How is it possible in today's India not to suspect that it is not a foresight to build a new Constitution of a religion-based state to replace the Constitution of secular-democratic India? New citizenship law, new concept of nation based on religion, new constitution hall, new constitution, new manufactured history, new place names and above all, inauguration of new Parliament building on Savarkar's birth anniversary. There is a single supreme leader with a brand new rod of authority, with a sceptre. Now all that is left is coronation. Those who don't yet understand this must be naive. A new history of democracy's journey of death has begun, he concluded.

'Never thought I would be able to sit in the new Parliament..', former PM HD Deve Gowda

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated the new Parliament building in New Delhi. In which many dignitaries including a large number of politicians attended. One of them was former Prime Minister and JDS leader HD Deve Gowda. Former Prime Minister Deve Gowda, who arrived at the inauguration ceremony, said such a thing on the occasion of the inauguration of Parliament House, which can pinch the opponents. HDDeve Gowda, who attended the inauguration ceremony of the new Parliament building, said on Sunday that he was fortunate to have got the opportunity to witness this great moment in the democratic history of the country. I never thought that he would be able to sit in the new Parliament building in his lifetime. He said that in Indian tradition, the construction and entry of a new house is a very auspicious and rare moment for a normal person in his lifetime. This is also an extraordinary moment in the lifetime of our country. When the old Parliament building was inaugurated, India was under colonial rule and we did not get independence. Remembering several prominent national personalities, former PM Deve Gowda said, Our country and Parliament are not tainted by a bloody revolution. Let us become one nation through peaceful and non-violent means. It was an invaluable achievement. This is our heritage and this is the value system, which we have to preserve and pass on to our future generations.

Shiv Sena condemns 'unscientific' Parliament inauguration ceremony

NEW DELHI: The inauguration of the new Parliament building was criticised by Saamna, the official publication of the Uddhav Thackeray group, who claimed that only Prime Minister Narendra Modi was permitted to take centre stage. Raising questions on the functioning of Parliament, the mouthpiece questioned the efficiency of Parliament by claiming that although under former Prime Minister Pandit Nehru, Lok Sabha ran for at least 140 days a year, it currently only lasts for 50 days. The 'Saamna' blasted the Centre, saying, The new Parliament House's opening was held with great splendour. The message of this ceremony was Modi is everything and only Modi. Modi did not permit anyone else's shadow to show up in any of the images or videos. That's just how Modi is. If the President had opened the new Parliament House, it would have included the Speaker of the Lok Sabha and the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, as well as Prime Minister Modi in the centre and Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge on his right. Such an image wouldn't have diminished Modi's majesty if it had come from the temple of democracy. Modi would have given the impression that he had changed if he had carried out all of these actions, but how would he still be Modi if he had not? The editorial further salmmed BJP of putting locks on the old Parliament where the Prime Minister had taken oath in 2014. When Modi was elected as the nation's prime minister in 2014, he said, The Constitution of the country is the only holy book. That holy book will be respected by our government. When Modi first entered the Parliament to take his seat as prime minister, he was overcome with emotion and knelt on the Parliament's stairs while sobbing. He pledged to uphold the dignity of this Parliament and to make it stronger. However, he shut the same Parliament in just eight years and, at his request, erected a new Parliament edifice. As per report, he planned the opening ceremony in the manner of a 'Maharaj' performing the Vastu of his castle. PM Modi released a coin of 75 rupees, know from where you can get it?

(The bride here does not mean the wife, but the adorned). Which of the Lord's favours will you deny? Surah e Rahman recited at the inauguration of the new Parliament House during the 'Sarv-Dharma' prayers on Sunday. #NewParliament pic.twitter.com/iDLi5pZrzj The Siasat Daily (@TheSiasatDaily) May 28, 2023 The Muslim cleric read his verses in Arabic, but we have brought you a Hindi meaning of it. Rahman (Allah) taught the Quran, he created a human being, he taught him to speak. The sun and the moon are moving in the same way and the vines and trees are prostrating. He raised the sky and set up the scales so that you do not overdo the weighing and weigh with judgment, do not lose weight. He laid down the whole earth for creation.

Around 900 craftsmen hand-knotted carpetsfor newParliament building

Master craftsmen from 2 UP villages Bhadohi and Mirzapur have worked for 18 months for hand-knotted carpets NEW DELHI:At least 900 master craftsmen from two villages in Uttar Pradesh Bhadohi and Mirzapur worked for about 18 months and hand-knotted carpets to adorn the new Parliament building, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday. They crafted 158 carpets for Lok Sabha and 156 for the Upper House before stitching them into a single carpet in the form of a semi-circle to sync with the architecture of both Houses covering an area of 35,000 square feet (sqft). The intricacies of the workmanship is so grand that as many as 120 knots per square inch were woven to create the carpets amounting to over 600 million knots approximately in total. While the carpets in Lok Sabha have the most intricate motifs of the peacock symbolising Indias national bird, the rugs in Rajya Sabha showcase the exquisite motifs of the national flower lotus. Their colour has been primarily inspired by the shade of Kokum Red. These carpets, adorned with meticulously crafted patterns and embellished with 20-25 shades, stand as a testament to Indias unparalleled artistry. The shade of floor covering in the Lok Sabha is based on Indian agave green, with inspiration from the plumes of the Indian peacock. Rudra Chatterjee, Chairman of Obeetee Carpets, the company which had prepared the carpets, said that the mammoth exercise to create the magnificent carpets for Parliament took over a year and a half. We began the project in 2020 right in the middle of the pandemic. The weaving process started by September 2021 and it was over by May 2022, and the installation commenced in November 2022. Crafting each carpet with a high density of 120 knots per square inch took approximately seven months. Being entrusted with theCentral Vista project is an incredible honour for us at Obeetee, he said. The workers spent a whopping 10 lakh man-hours, Chatterjee said. The craftsmen hailing from Bhadohi and Mirzapur are carrying on a legacy dating to Mughal Emperor Akbar. As the legend goes, Akbar had an exceptional fondness for carpets so he decided to bring the finest Persian artists and weavers to India. During that journey, when they reachedGopiganj, a small town in modern Uttar Pradesh, their caravan was attacked by bandits. The weavers who survived that onslaught took shelter in villages around that area, making Mirzapur famous for carpet weaving. The carpet designs were conceived with great reverence for the halls, exuding intricate artistry, vibrant colours, and subtle elegance. Crafted at Obeetees own factory headquarters in Mirzapur, the manufacturing procedure was a tedious process as the weavers had to craft the carpets for halls measuring up to 17,500 square feet each, Chatterjee added.

Dragged and detained, wrestlers in no mood to relent

Incidentally, Sakshi, her husband Satyawart Kadian and a few others met Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday evening demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan. CHENNAI/NEW DELHI: The scenes and their shrill cries sent shock waves across the sporting world. Olympic and world medallists were dragged and detained by Delhi police just a few kilometres away from where Prime Minister Narendra Modi was inaugurating the new Parliament building in the national capital on Sunday morning. Country's top wrestlers including Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist Bajrang Punia, Rio Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Malik and two-time World Championships medallist Vinesh Phogat were trying to march towards the new Parliament to organise 'Mahila Samman Mahapanchayat' when they were stopped midway and were being forcibly taken to separate locations from Jantar Mantar where they had pitched in their tents for the protest that ran into Day 36. There was quite a commotion while removing Sakshi, Vinesh and Sangeeta Phogat. It all started when the protesting wrestlers were in no mood to back out. They breached the security cordon while trying to move towards the new Parliament. Top official sources told this newspaper that the Delhi police are going to initiate legal action against the wrestlers and register an FIR under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly creating a ruckus around Jantar Mantar. The Delhi police also uprooted the tents where these wrestlers were staying since they resumed their protest on April 23 demanding the arrest of the sidelined Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Other belongings of the wrestlers like cots, mattresses, coolers and fans were also removed from the place. While the move was apparently aimed at ending the ongoing sit-in protest, the wrestlers insisted via social media posts that the protest will continue. Our protest hasn't ended. Once we are released from police detention, we will start 'satyagraha' at Jantar Mantar. Not dictatorship but this country will see women wrestlers' satyagraha now, tweeted Sakshi and Sangeeta Phogat, Bajrang's wife. Incidentally, Sakshi, her husband Satyawart Kadian and a few others met Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday evening demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan. Independent MLA from Charkhi Dadri, Sombir Sangwan, acted as a mediator. We prepared a seven-point demand letter for the meeting. But wrestlers demanded the immediate arrest of Brij Bhushan even as the Home Minister told them that he will be arrested in one month after police file the chargesheet in court as per law, Sangwan told this daily.

Failed talk with Home Min followed by wrestlers' protest and detention

Meanwhile, it is learnt that wrestlers were detained separately after being whisked away from the protest site. CHENNAI: A day before their detention on Sunday, a delegation from the protesting wrestlers met Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi. The delegation comprising Sakshi Malik and her husband Satyawart Kadian apart from a few other members apparently had prepared a seven-point demand letter. However, the meeting could not be fructified as the wrestlers demanded the immediate arrest of the former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Sombir Sangwan, an independent MLA from Charkhi Dadri, Haryana, told this daily that a meeting took place on Saturday evening. The demand letter was prepared in consultation with the wrestlers. I along with Acharya Devvrat, Governor of Gujarat, facilitated the talk between the home minister and the wrestlers. I told Shah about the demand including the arrest of Brij Bhushan. The only condition was that he will be arrested once the Delhi police submit a chargesheet in court as per law. But wrestlers wanted an immediate arrest and that was where the talks failed, Sombir told this daily. Sombir, who is also Sangwan Khap Pradhan (head), is one of the several Khap leaders who extended support to the wrestlers. One such Khap is Sarv Jatiya Sarv Khap Mahapanchayat. Its national president Dr Santosh Dahiya also confirmed the development but said that immediate arrest should have been made as a case has been registered under POCSO Act against Brij Bhushan. How can they not arrest him immediately? The law says so, Dr Dahiya told this daily. Even Dahiya was detained at her house in Kurukshetra, Haryana. She was supposed to join wrestlers for the 'Mahila Samman Mahapanchayat' scheduled to be held in front of the new Parliament building on Sunday morning. I tried to leave my home at 4:30 in the morning but was not allowed. The cops deployed here asked me not to leave home and said I will be arrested and kept in the nearby police station if I don't abide by the order. Dahiya said she has been trying to contact wrestlers but to no avail. The oppressive tactics of the government will not be able to deter us from seeking justice for these champion wrestlers. I don't where they have been taken by the cops as I could not talk to them till now. But the protest does not end here. I will meet the wrestlers and chalk out future strategies with them. The mahapanchayat will be held. The venue and date will be announced soon. This action by the government has emboldened us not to give up. We will intensify the protest as now the whole country is standing with us, said Dahiya. Meanwhile, it is learnt that wrestlers were detained separately after being whisked away from the protest site. Bajrang Punia has been detained at a police station near Mayur Vihar, Sakshi is in Burari. Vinesh Phogat and Sangeeta Phogat were taken to Kalkaji. The accused is roaming free. He is being given shelter by the government and athletes who won medals for the country are now being put in jail for demanding justice for the country's daughters. Welcome to the new country, Vinesh told reporters before being taken away on a bus.

Installation of sengol will be remembered forever: Guv

Governor RN Ravi on Sunday hailed the installation of sengol in the new Parliament building and spoke on its importance of this, at an event organised in Raj Bhavan. CHENNAI: Governor RN Ravi on Sunday hailed the installation of sengol in the new Parliament building and spoke on its importance of this, at an event organised in Raj Bhavan. It is a historic day. Indian civilisation and cultural evolution are several thousand years old. The sengol was designed to symbolise the supremacy of dharma as per our tradition and to proclaim that everyone has to conduct themselves in a dharmic way. Though the British destroyed Bharats culture and tradition in the rest of the country, Tamil Nadu retained it fully with the help of institutions through values and ethos. For centuries from now, as in the period of Sangam and Chola regimes, the historical event of May 28, 2023 will keep reminding all those who are on task to decide the future of the country to make it Vishwa Guru, prosperous India. We will continue to celebrate this historic day in the future, he said. Meanwhile, VCK cadre wore black shirts to protest against the inauguration of the new Parliament building on the birth anniversary of Savarkar. Talking to reporters, VCK president Thol Thirumavalavan said, Installation of sengol in Lok Sabha is a political drama enacted by the BJP to woo the people of Tamil Nadu by telling them that the party is respecting the culture of Tamils in a big way. I request the Tamils not to fall for this. Thirumavalvan also said there was no logic behind the shifting of sengol from Allahabad to Parliament at this juncture when the BJP rule is going on and since there is no power transfer needed now.

Chaotic scenes were witnessed at Jantar Mantar as wrestlers and police officers shoved and pushed each other when Vinesh Phogat and her cousin sister Sangeeta Phogat tried to breach the barricades.At one stage, the protestors even entered into arguments with the Delhi Police personnel. Vinesh provided a strong resistance against her detention and Sangeeta clung to her cousin sister while lying on the road as the struggle continued for a few dramatic minutes.

The wrestlers had said that the use of force by police will not deter them from going ahead with their peaceful march and the Mahapanchayat. However, the police had made it clear in the morning that no protester will be allowed to move towards the Parliament since they have not been granted permission for 'Mahapanchat' and the wrestlers should not be involved in any anti-national activity. According to the live location shared by one of the wrestlers' supporters from the moving bus, they were being moved towards the Tikri border. In another video shared by the wrestlers, Sakshi's husband Satyawart Kadian and Jiternder Kinha were seen shouting the slogan - 'Inqilab Jindabad' along with several others as the police vehicle whisked them away.

What was the need of the new Parliament House? Sanjay Raut said after boycotting

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday dedicated the new Parliament building to the nation. Earlier, the Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) in its mouthpiece Saamana attacked the Modi government over the inauguration of the new Parliament building. In Saamana, Shiv Sena (UBT) has once again targeted PM Modi. The inauguration of the new Parliament building is not in accordance with beliefs and traditions. Such occupation of Parliament is a threat to democracy. What was the need for the new Parliament? The article also calls for a new Parliament unnecessary. On one hand, a new Parliament is being constructed, while on the other, there is an atmosphere of fear in both houses of Parliament. Not inviting the President to the inauguration of Parliament is not in accordance with the old tradition and belief. Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi had demanded that the new Parliament be inaugurated by the President. Later, this demand was accepted by other opposition parties and started attacking the Modi government. Not only this, 20 opposition parties led by the Congress have also boycotted the inauguration ceremony. Not inviting the President and opposition leaders to the inauguration of the new Parliament means everything is 'I' i.e. Modi. It shows arrogance. Rahul Gandhi says Parliament is not built by bricks of arrogance but by constitutional values. Not inviting the President to its inauguration is an affront to the highest constitutional post. The decision on the need for a new Parliament building was taken during the Congress regime. No one is opposing the Central Vista either. The only point is that not inviting the President to the inauguration of Parliament is a violation of constitutional convention. However, if you look at saamana's article, you will find that contradictory things have been written in it. Earlier, Sanjay Raut writes, What was the need for this Parliament House? It is unnecessary. Then praising Rahul Gandhi, he writes that the decision on the need for a new Parliament building was taken in the Congress government itself. Not only this, it was also written in the Saamana that opposition leaders were not called and only 'I' i.e. Modi did everything. So Sanjay Raut may have forgotten that 20 opposition parties, including the Congress, have boycotted the event after receiving the invitation, while 25 parties, including the BJP, attended the event.

'Nitish Kumar only has to oppose Narendra Modi': Sushil Modi on war over new Parliament building

Patna: BJPleader Sushil Kumar Modi has launched a scathing attack on Nitish Kumar over the war on The Parliament House. Rajya Sabha MP Sushil Modi has said that Nitish Kumar is raising this issue only because he has to oppose Narendra Modi. He has personal hatred towards PM Modi ji. Nitish Kumar is jealous and hates Modi ji. Sushil Modi said that if Nitish Kumar does not want to come to the inauguration program, then do not come. But to say what parliament house needs exposes their mindset. Sushil Modi said that if there is a new delimitation of Lok Sabha after 2026, then the number of members can increase. Where will the new members sit? Even today, when the President's address is held in the Central Hall, chairs have to be installed from outside, then everyone is able to sit. Sushil Modi: The old building has turned 90 years old and a new building has been built, so why is it being opposed? To oppose the BJP and Narendra Modi, the temple of democracy, the Parliament House is being opposed, which the country is going to need immediately. Sushil Modi said That Nitish Kumar and his allies opposed the move. These people went to the Supreme Court. But even there, they failed. His petition was dismissed. These people also protested against the installation of national emblem. They opposed the foundation stone. They did this because they hate Narendra Modi. Sushil Modi also wrapped up Nitish Kumar over RJD's tweet. One of his colleagues is comparing the Parliament house to a coffin. How wrong this is. When the Prime Minister of the country does not have the right to inaugurate the Parliament House, then why did Nitish Kumar inaugurate the new building of Bihar Legislative Assembly himself? Nitish Kumar should tell how many buildings and schemes he inaugurated from the Governor in 17 years of CM's tenure? He asked that if the opportunity was received, he kept inaugurating and laying the foundation stone himself. But the PM of the country who has been given this right by the people with a huge mandate, then you are getting so jealous. On the question of boycott of the inauguration program of Parliament House by 21 parties, Sushil Modi said that we invited you, you did not come to the inauguration by boycotting yourself. What is our fault in this? What do you mean by someone inaugurating it? You should have come. But you just have to do it because Nitish Kumar is jealous of why PM Narendra Modi is getting the credit for this.

'Why did PM Modi not take opposition into confidence in building new Parliament building?', asks Sharad Pawar

Mumbai: A war has broken out over the inauguration program of the new Parliament building. Opposition parties have been relentlessly attacking the Modi government for not inviting President Draupadi Murmu to the inauguration ceremony of Parliament House. Some opposition parties have decided not to attend the inaugural function. Meanwhile, on Saturday, NCP chief Sharad Pawar accused the Modi government of not taking confidence due to the construction of Parliament building. I have been an MP for many years. We read in the newspaper that a new Parliament building will be built. While taking such an important decision, there was a need to take the Members of Parliament into confidence. Sharad Pawar said that no one was invited even for bhoomi pujan. Now the Parliament House is ready. The opposition should have been taken into confidence. Therefore, we accept the decision of some parties to boycott it. It is being told that Assembly Speaker Rahul Narvekar has demanded the Election Commission to form a Shiv Sena party instead of both the factions. When asked about this, Sharad Pawar said, It means that the decision-making process has started. On the issue of implementation of uniform civil code in four states of the country, Pawar said, This is wrong. There is no truth in this news. Nothing of that sort happened. Let us tell you that the new Parliament building of the country will be inaugurated on May 28. PMNarendra Modi will inaugurate this building, but now politics has erupted in the country about this beautiful building. They are criticising Prime Minister Modi.

Lalu Yadav's party compared the new parliament building with 'coffin', People trolled

Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dedicated the new Parliament building to the nation, after which there is enthusiasm among the people across the country. #MyParliamentMyPride is trending on Twitter after PM Modi installed the symbol of Indian culture and justice in the new Parliament. However, the opposition, which boycotted the opening ceremony of Parliament House, is still agitated. Lalu Prasad Yadav's party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has posted such a controversial picture about the new Parliament building, which has created a ruckus. This picture shared by RJD is making politicians angry, even the general public. ? pic.twitter.com/9NF9iSqh4L Rashtriya Janata Dal (@RJDforIndia) May 28, 2023 In fact, RJD compared the new Parliament building with the picture of a coffin and wrote on its official Twitter handle, 'What is this?' Politics has also been fierce on the inauguration of the new building of Parliament. As many as 20 opposition parties, led by the Congress, had boycotted the inauguration of the new Parliament building. Lalu's party is also among the boycott parties. Reacting to RJD's insult to the temple of democracy, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said, Today is a historic moment and the country is proud. You are a nazarbattu and nothing else. Keep beating the chest. In 2024, the people of the country will lock you in this coffin and will not even give you a chance to come to the temple of new democracy. Let's also decide that Parliament belongs to the country and the coffin belongs to you. Not only this, the common people are also taking classes of RJD fiercely on this objectionable act of Lalu Yadav's party. Rupendra Singh wrote, 'God should not give such a useless child to anyone who has made a coffin of his father Lalu in advance.' The first one is the same, the second photo is the picture of the new building of the parliament of the country. First photo - the future of your party, the second photo - the future of India. Puneet Kumar Garg wrote, An 8th fail can't post anything dirtier than this, but why have you posted the coffin of a big scamster, have you changed your religion, why is there no way to go to the second picture of Parliament? A burden on the country and the earth. Vinod Solanki wrote, What can be expected from Tejashwi Yadav, the son of a 9th failed fodder thief, whether it is not being able to become the Chief Minister or lack of values, in these areas, comparing the temple of democracy with a coffin is showing their mental bankruptcy. Tajinder Singh wrote, Personal hatred of the Honorable Prime Minister and the compulsion to keep you happy to collect the votes of a particular community has blinded you people. Don't cut the branch on which you are sitting. Ayush Mishra wrote, When # #_ work was done in Treta and Dwapar, # used to disrupt it. In the Gita, God has said that demons will be more active in Kalyug. RJD is one of them. And this coffin is your future and the new building is ours. Ashok Meena wrote, 'Honorable, the public is not at all surprised by your tweet, as much work as wisdom. Maybe one is the coffin of your father's life, because you do not have an MP, then the other great country is the Parliament House of India.

BJD govt remote-controlled from Delhi, says Congress

The AICC general secretary said after people in Karnataka removed the BJP government from power in the state, the government in Odisha has emerged as the most corrupt in the country. BHUBANESWAR: Taking a dig at ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) for its decision to participate in the inauguration of the new Parliament building at New Delhi by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, the Congress party alleged the Odisha government is being remote-controlled from the national capital. Addressing media persons here on Saturday, senior Congress leader and former union minister Jitendra Singh said the new Parliament building should have been inaugurated by the President of India. Not inviting President Droupadi Murmu, the daughter of the land, to inaugurate the new building has hurt not only the people of Odisha but also the entire country. The government in the state, however, is least bothered about it, Singh alleged. He said, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik is the one who should have recommended the Prime Minister to get the building inaugurated by the president and objected strongly if the latter had not accepted the proposal. However, he (Naveen) did not do it. Singh further said, This (BJD) government has no regard for Odisha or the post of the President, the highest constitutional position in our country. Since the government is remote-controlled, it did what was dictated by New Delhi. The AICC general secretary said after people in Karnataka removed the BJP government from power in the state, the government in Odisha has emerged as the most corrupt in the country.

CM Naveen skips NITI Aayog council meeting citing prior engagements

Although no official statement has been released from the chief ministers office on the reasons, sources said, he had prior engagements over completion of four years of his present tenure. BHUBANESWAR: Even as the BJD has thrown its weight behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the controversy over new Parliament building inauguration, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik chose to skip the crucial NITI Aayog Governing Council meeting at New Delhi on Saturday. Although no official statement has been released from the chief ministers office on the reasons, sources said, he had prior engagements over completion of four years of his present tenure. His decision was intimated to the Centre well in advance, they added. Since the CM was not able to attend the meeting, the state government wanted to depute a minister and chief secretary, but the Centre rejected the proposal twice citing that chief ministers are members of the governing council and no one can replace them, the sources informed The New Indian Express. The CM is in the midst of performance review of all departments before the celebration of completion of his 23rd year in office and fourth year in fifth term on May 29. On Saturday, Naveen reviewed performance of four departments. He also reviewed the fulfillment of promises made in the BJD manifesto before the 2019 election. While his absence from the crucial meeting gave rise to speculations, government sources dismissed them saying there was nothing political behind it. Naveen is also unlikely to attend the inauguration of the new Parliament building on Sunday. His party BJD, however, will attend the momentous occasion with some of the MPs taking part.

Inauguration of Parliament building by PM and not Prez insult to Ambedkar's dreams, says Cong RS MP

The ceremony to inaugurate the new Parliament building on Sunday will begin with an early morning havan and a multi-religion prayer followed by a formal opening in the Lok Sabha by the PM. RAIPUR: Congress Rajya Sabha MP Pramod Tiwari on Saturday said the inauguration of the new Parliament building at the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and not the President of India is an insult to Dr BR Ambedkar's dreams and the Constitution. Addressing a press conference here at Rajiv Bhavan, the headquarter of the Chhattisgarh Congress as part of the party's nationwide 'Nau Saal Nau Sawal' campaign to highlight failures of nine years of Modi rule, Tiwari posed questions on issues like inflation, unemployment and corruption. Accusing the NDA government of betraying the people, Tiwari asked the PM to break his silence on questions being posed by opposition parties and the citizens. The new Parliament building will be inaugurated by the PM tomorrow. It will be an insult to Babasaheb Ambedkar's dreams as well as the Constitution that it is not being inaugurated by the first citizen of the country. Despite our repeated requests, the new Parliament building is not being inaugurated by President Droupadi Murmu, Tiwari said. Accusing the Union government of breaking protocol by getting the PM to inaugurate the building, Tiwari said the invite to the event mentions the presence of the Lok Sabha speaker but not the Rajya Sabha Chairman, also the Vice President. The ceremony to inaugurate the new Parliament building on Sunday will begin with an early morning havan and a multi-religion prayer followed by a formal opening in the Lok Sabha by the PM. As many as 25 parties are expected to attend the inauguration of the new Parliament building on Sunday even as 20 opposition parties, including the Congress, have decided to boycott the event. Accusing the Centre of enriching friendly businessmen, Tiwari asked the PM why he was silent on LIC investing people's hard-earned money in billionaire Gautam Adani's firms, which have been accused of stock manipulation and accounting fraud by US-based Hindenburg Research, as well as corruption in BJP-ruled states. He mocked the Centre on the Reserve Bank of India's decision to withdraw Rs 2000 notes from circulation and said sarcastically that the chip inside it must be removed as it is expensive. During the days after demonetisation in November 2016, some groups close to the ruling dispensation used to claim the new Rs 2000 note has a nanochip embedded in it to track those indulging in black marketing and hoarding.

'If there was so much love for the President...', Ghulam Nabi Azad lashes out at boycott of Parliament inauguration

Srinagar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to inaugurate the new Parliament building on Sunday (May 28). The Congress and several opposition parties are boycotting the event. Former Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad has now sharply criticized this attitude of the opposition parties. I don't understand why opposition parties are shouting when they should be happy that the country is getting a new Parliament. Had I been in Delhi, I would have attended the inauguration of the new Parliament building. The opposition should praise the central government for creating a new Parliament in record time, while they are criticizing the government. I am strongly against the opposition boycotting it. Azad further said that when he was the Union Parliamentary Minister in the (Azad) Narasimha Rao government, he dreamt of building a new Parliament. I had discussed with the then PRIME Minister Narasimha Rao about the formation of a new Parliament, not only did I make a map, but at that time we could not make a new Parliament. Azad said that after the independence of the country, the population of the country has increased by 5 times, accordingly the number of representatives has also increased. Ghulam Nabi Azad said, Therefore, a new Parliament building had to be built. Ghulam Nabi Azad said, I am against the unnecessary controversy being raised on the inauguration of the new Parliament. The opposition has no dearth of issues, yet they are raising the wrong issues. And if the opposition loved the president so much, why did it field a candidate against him?

Why did the Gandhi family keep calling Sengol, the symbol of independence, as 'Nehru's stick'?

New Delhi: Union Minister Smriti Irani has fiercely attacked the Congress for boycotting the inauguration of the new Parliament House by PM Narendra Modi. Speaking to the press, Irani said on Friday (May 26) that the Gandhi family had kept Sengol in a dark corner of a museum as 'Nehruji's stick'. According to the report, the Union Minister further said, 'Sengol which is a symbol of our freedom was kept in a dark corner of a museum by the Gandhi family as former PM Jawaharlal Nehru's walking stick. I want to ask every Indian that keeping Sengol like this and calling it just a stick, doesn't it reflect what the Gandhi family thinks about the country's history and democracy.' Irani further said that therefore it does not surprise us that the Gandhi family is instigating like-minded people to not attend the inauguration of the new Parliament building. While talking to the media, Smriti Irani attacked the Congress by showing an old issue of Time magazine. She said that this is the August 25, 1947 issue of Time magazine. I would like all our friends who are boycotting the inauguration of the new Parliament House to read this article and get some information regarding 'Sengol' and see what happened in 1947. By doing this drama, they are also opposing their own leader Jawaharlal Nehru. Let us tell that PM Narendra Modi will dedicate the new Parliament House to the nation on Sunday (May 28). 'Sengol', the symbol of the transfer of power from the British to India, will be kept in the new Parliament House as a proud heritage of India.

You should know that those who are in power these days will change the entire history. We will change the history of the freedom struggle.

Explained | 10 Less-Known Facts About India's New Parliament Building

Who designed the new parliament building? How much did it cost? And how is it different from the old Parliament?

Nehru was not familiar with tradition: Governor RN Ravi

When the British were to leave the country, they wanted to know whether there was any ritual for transfer of power. Nehru was not familiar with the countrys traditions. COIMBATORE: Indias first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was not familiar with the countrys traditions, so, he asked C Rajagopalachari, who arranged a ritual where a sengol (sceptre) was handed over to Nehru to mark the transfer of power from the British to India in 1947, Governor RN Ravi said on Friday while speaking at an international conference on millets organised in the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. When the British were to leave the country, they wanted to know whether there was any ritual for transfer of power. Nehru was not familiar with the countrys traditions. So, he asked C Rajagopalachari, who arranged a ritual where sengol was handed over tohim. Adheenams from Tamil Nadu recited Thevaram and the sengol was handed over to Nehru. Unfortunately, we have somehow forgotten that ritual. The sengol, which is located in Prayagraj, will be installed in the new Parliament building, he said. Speaking on the conference topic, Governor Ravi said excessive consumption of rice was one of the main reasons for increase in diabetes cases, and stressed the importance of millet-based diet. Our cuisine is delicious and wide-ranging but everything is made of rice. Excessive consumption of rice is leading to diabetes. Doctors say Tamil Nadu has the largest number of diabetic patients. One of the reasons they say is our excessive dependence of rice, Ravi said.

Congress is shedding crocodile tears: HDKumaraswamy

He also alleged that the Congress has won 45-50 seats, including Ramanagara and Magadi constituencies, by inducing voters and dared CM Siddaramaiah to order a probe. BENGALURU:Former CM HD Kumaraswamy attacked Congress for allegedly politicising the inauguration of the new Parliament building and defended the partys stand after former prime minister HD Deve Gowda decided to attend the event amid an opposition boycott. Kumaraswamy explained that the decision was unanimously taken in the national executive meeting. PM Narendra Modi has invited the former PM and there is nothing wrong in attending it, he said, clarifying that JDS will be equidistant from both BJP and Congress. He accused the Congress of shedding crocodile tears by dragging President Droupadi Murmus name into it and accusing the central government of insulting the tribals. If Congress was so concerned about tribals, why did it nominate Yashwant Sinha as the opposition presidential candidate? Sonia Gandhi laid the foundation stone for the legislative building in Chhattisgarh. Congress think of the President, he said. He also alleged that the Congress has won 45-50 seats, including Ramanagara and Magadi constituencies, by inducing voters and dared CM Siddaramaiah to order a probe. Hours before polling, Congress gave coupons to voters. The coupons hadQR codes, using which thevoters could shop in designated stores and buy items worth Rs 3,000. This is a huge election scam, he added, demandingthat the Election Commission of India investigate. Kumaraswamy showed the coupons allegedly distributed by Congress during the press conference and alleged that around 60,000 coupons were distributed in about 42 constituencies. He said state party chief CM Ibrahim and youth wing chief Nikhil Kumaraswamys resignations have not been accepted.

Reconsider boycott, FMNirmala Sitharaman appeals to Opposition

The same leaders of the opposition parties abused her when she contested for presidentship and are now suddenly motivated to charge she is being disrespected, she said. CHENNAI: Justifying the inauguration of the new Parliament building by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday appealed to opposition parties to reconsider the decision to boycott the May 28 event. Sitharaman was addressing a press conference at the Raj Bhavan on the ceremony during which the Sengol (sceptre) will be placed in the Lok Sabha near the Speakers podium.Asked about opposition parties boycott, she said, The new Parliament House where representatives of the people will be debating issues is going to be there for another 100 to 200 years. Are we going to boycott this House? It is a temple of democracy. I humbly request the opposition parties to reconsider their stand to boycott.Asked about the oppositions charge that the ruling BJP is disrespecting the presidents office by not inviting her to inaugurate the building, she said, I am surprised by this allegation. The same leaders of the opposition parties abused her when she contested for presidentship and are now suddenly motivated to charge she is being disrespected, she said. Sengol signifies a righteous ruler, says Sitharaman The PM gives her due respect and all of us are extremely proud of our president, she added. The governors of Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Nagaland -- RN Ravi, Tamilisai Soundararajan and L Ganesan respectively -- as well as union minister L Murugan and Tamil Nadu HR & CE minister PK Sekarbabu were also present during the press conference. On the criticism that there is little historical evidence to establish that this presentation of the Sengol symbolised the transfer of power from the British and reports that the Thiruvavaduthurai Adheenam had merely gifted the Sengol to Jawaharlal Nehru, Sithraman said, There is as much documentary proof to establish that the presentation of Sengol actually symbolised the transfer of power. All these are derived from research sources and extensive research was already done on this. Besides, across the globe, power is not transferred just by a handshake. Questioned as to why the PM is inaugurating the new parliament building instead of the president, an apolitical leader, Sitharaman responded that Sonia Gandhi had inaugurated the new Assembly building in Chhattisgarh. But by your reasoning, the governor should have inaugurated that, she retorted. At this juncture, Tamilisai Soundararajan said that recently, in Telangana, the chief minister inaugurated the new Assembly building and she had not even been invited to the ceremony. Asked whether or not the presence of the images of only Hindu deities Ganesh and Lakshmi on the Sengol would hurt the sentiments of Indians of other faiths, the union minister said when the British left India there were Christians and Muslims. None had objected to the images when the sceptre was given to Lord Mountbatten and later handed over to the first PM Nehru. Indonesia, a country where Muslims live in majority, has Ganesh and Lakshmi on their currency notes. They dont have any issue while displaying the images of Hindu gods since they deem them as their civilisational symbols, she said. Questioned on the necessity of reenacting the Sengol presentation now, 75 years after independence, the union finance minister said, The Sengol was given to Nehru as a representative of the people and that should have been kept it in Parliament from that time but that did not take place. That is what the PM will be doing now. Asked if the image of the Nandhi on the Sengol is seen as a religious symbol, the union minister said, The Sengol signifies that the ruler should be righteous. That is the idea behind the Sengol. She referred to Thirukkural couplets from the chapter sengonmai (the right sceptre) to support her assertion. It is not Thevaram hymns alone that speak about the Sengol, she added.

Vummidi Bangaru family to be felicitated for making sengol to be installed in Parliament

News The sceptre that will now be installed in the Parliament building was made by the Vummidi Bangaru family in 1947 to mark the transfer of power from the British to India, it is claimed. Twitter/Ankit Jain Family members of the popular Chennai-based jewellery store chain Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers will be felicitated at the inauguration of the new Parliament building on May 28 for making the sengol (sceptre) that was handed to the then PM Jawaharlal Nehru by British Governor Mountbatten in 1947. While the present government makes this claim, other versions say that the sengol was given to Nehru by a group of priests from the Adheenam, a non-Brahmin Shaivite monastery in Tamil Nadu, to represent the transfer of power from the British government on the eve of Independence. The sceptre was made in erstwhile Madras on the instructions of the seer of Thiruvaduthurai Adheenam, a prominent Shaivite mutt in Tamil Nadu. The seer had been contacted by then Governor General of India C Rajagopalachari on behalf of Nehru, it is further said. The sengol is a staff that was held by a ruling monarch in ancient Tamil Nadu while in his court and symbolised his power. Read: Sceptre with Tamil inscription to be installed in new Parliament building According to information from the Indian governments website, the makers of the sengol, Vummidi Ethirajulu and his brother Vummidi Sudhakar, were 20 and 13 years old respectively in 1947. In a video found on the website, Ethirajulu is heard saying that the sengol was made of silver and plated with gold. He says that the embossing on the sengol was done by a different set of goldsmiths and that it took 10-15 days just for that to be completed. Speaking to the media on Thursday, May 25, the director of Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers, Amarendran Vummidi, said that 10 members from his family will be participating in the inauguration of the new Parliament building. He said, Were the fourth generation involved in jewellery making. This recognition and pride does not belong to just me but to my entire family as well. Displaying the replica of the sengol that his grandfathers had made, Amarendran said, In 1947, my grandfather had received the order to make this. This is an exact replica of the original that my grandfather made.

New Parliament row:'Reconsider decision to boycott', Nirmala Sitharaman tellsopposition

A total of 21 opposition parties, including the Congress have announced a boycott of the inauguration of the new Parliament building. CHENNAI: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday appealed to the opposition parties which have decided to boycott the inauguration ceremony for the new Parliament building on May 28. The Union Minister made this appeal while addressing a press conference at the Raj Bhavan here about the ceremony scheduled to take place on May 28 to place the Sengol (sceptre) in the Lok Sabha near the Speakers podium. Asked about the decision of the opposition parties to boycott the May 28 events, the Union Minister said, he new Parliament House is going to be there for another 100 to 200 years where the representatives of the people will be debating the issues.Are we going to boycott this House? It is a temple of democracy.I humbly request the opposition parties to reconsider their stand to boycott. When asked about the charge of the opposition parties that the ruling BJP is disrespecting the office of the president by not inviting her to inaugurate the new Parliament House, Nirmala Sitharaman said, I am surprised by this allegation.Leaders of opposition parties today see the President as an eminent leader particularly coming from a tribal background. But they were the ones who had undertaken a very bitter campaign against her when she contested for Presidentship. Stating that she did not wish to recall the words used against her at that time by the opposition parties, Nirmala Sithraman said leaders belonging to the very same opposition parties spoke ill of her; abused her and said that she would be a rubber stamp. They (opposition)said I amrepresenting evil forces....obviously, they had the RSS in mind.They also chose someone to contest against meandnow suddenly became morally motivated to charge that I am being disrespected, the Finance Minister said and added, he Prime Minister gives her due respect and all of us are extremely proud of our President. Questioned what is the necessity of reenacting the Sengol presentation event now when the country is ruled by our government and since 75 years have passed since the country got Independence,the Union Finance Minister said, he Sengol was given to Nehru as a representative of the people and that should have been kept it in Parliament from that time but it did not take place. That is what the prime minister is doing now. Asked whether the presence of Nandhi in the Sengol is seen as a religious symbol, the Union Minister said, In many countries even now, there is the process for transfer of power. In a democracy, we speak about the power of the people.So, in 1947, it was given to Nehru and the power transfer took place only when the Sengol was given.The Sengol signifies the ruler should be righteous. We should not forget the philosophy behind the Sengol. In this connection to this, she also cited Thirukkural couplets in the Chapter Sengonmai (The Right Sceptre) and added thatit is not Thevaram hymns alone that speak about Sengol. When asked about the historical evidence for establishing that this presentation of Sengol symbolised the transfer of power, Nirmala Sithraman said, There is as much documentary proof to establish that the presentation of Sengol actually symbolised the transfer of power. All these are derived from research sources. A total of 21 opposition parties, including the Congress have announced a boycott of the inauguration of the new Parliament building. They have said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to inaugurate the building without President Droupadi Murmu insults the high office of the President, and violates the letter and spirit of the Constitution. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla will dedicate to the nation the new Parliament building on May 28.

Pride of place for Tamil Nadus tryst with history

The ornamented staff will be brought to New Delhi from a museum in Allahabad, where it has been safely kept, and will be installed in parliament. CHENNAI: On May 28, when the new Parliament House is dedicated to the nation, a gold-plated silver staff from a forgotten past will emerge as a new symbol for India in its full imperial glory. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will receive the sacred Sengol (sceptre) that symbolises fair and equitable governance and install it near the Lok Sabha Speakers podium. The Sengol, originally presented by Thiruvavaduthurai Adheenam of Tamil Nadu to the first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru at his house, on August 14, on the eve of independence, represents the ultimate transfer of power from the British. The ornamented staff will be brought to New Delhi from a museum in Allahabad, where it has been safely kept, and will be installed in parliament. Shedding light on this symbol of power, Home Minister Amit Shah told reporters in Delhi on Wednesday, that even after 75 years of independence, most people are unaware of this event in which Indias transfer of power took place through the handing over of the Sengol to Nehru, a ritual followed by kings in TN while ascending the throne. He said Modi has decided to adopt the Sengol as a national symbol of Amrit Kaal. Rajaji decided it a good idea for Nehru to receive Sengol from a Tamil guru The new parliament building will witness the very same event, with Adheenam (priests) repeating the ceremony and vesting the PM with the Sengol, he said. The Sengol is profound in meaning, which is derived from the Tamil word Semmai, meaning righteousness, he said. It is blessed by the high priests of a leading Dharmic Mutt in Tamil Nadu. The Nandi, with its unyielding gaze as the beholder of Nyaya, is hand-carved at the top. Most importantly, the recipient of the Sengol has the order (Aanai in Tamil) to rule justly and fairly. This is what is most appealing, for those elected to serve the people must never forget this, he added. Amit Shah revealed that all 20 Adheenam presidents will be present on this auspicious occasion to shower their blessings in remembrance of the ritual. The 96-year-old Vummidi Bangaru Chetty, associated with the creation of the Sengol in 1947, would also participate in the ceremony. A peep into history reveals that 75 years ago, the last Viceroy of the British government, Mountbatten, asked Nehru, who was expected to be the first PM of India, what ritual would be followed to symbolise the transfer of power. Nehru sought the advice of Rajaji (Rajagopalachari), who, in turn, approached Sri Ambalavana Desika Swamigal. The Swamigal arranged for the golden Sengol to be made at a cost of Rs 15,000, a huge amount in 1947. On the eve of Independence, Sri Kumaraswamy Thambiran and Manickam Odhuvar recited the Kolaru Pathigam, hymns from Thevaram, composed by Shaivaite saint Thirugnana Sambandar. When the final words in the stanza were recited, the Sengol was presented to Nehru amidst music from the Nadaswaram played by maestro TN Rajarathinam Pillai. Interestingly, in 1978, Sri Chandransekharendra Saraswathi Swamigal, recalled an interesting aspect behind incident. The Swamigal said it was Rajaji, who decided that instead of receiving the Sengol from the Britishers, Nehru receive it from a guru from TN. Meanwhile, Vummidi Bangaru Jewellers who made the original Sengol given to Nehru, has made its replica using around 110 sovereigns of gold to be handed over to the Prime Minister on May 28. Golden gift to Indias 1st PM According to this article in the August 13, 1947 edition of the Indian Express, the golden sceptre worth Rs 15,000 (at the time) would be presented to Nehru.
