Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today said that with the inauguration of the new Parliament building, Prime Minister Narendra Modi fulfilled the wishes of 142 crore Indian people and said that it is a historic day. In an exclusive interview with ANI, he said, "Today it is a historic day for the countrymen, on this day Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to dedicate a new Parliament House to the countrymen. The Prime Minister deserves congratulations and thanks for the historic steps taken by him. I heartily congratulate the Prime Minister and thank him because he has fulfilled the wishes of 142 crore Indian people."
Officials at the Allahabad Museum, home of the historic 'Sengol' for seven decades, said their treasured possession moving to the new Parliament building in the national capital is a matter of pride for them as well as the residents of Prayagraj. The 'Sengol', a Chola-era spectre made of silver with a coat of gold, is a symbol of the transfer of power from the British in 1947. Today, it was installed near the chair of the Lok Sabha Speaker.
