Shah said- PM will keep Sengol in the new Parliament House: Home Minister said- this is a symbol of transfer of power; Pandit Nehru had taken it from the British; Congress forgot

Sengol is now kept in the museum. It will be kept in the new building of Parliament on 28 May.

PM Narendra Modi will inaugurate the new Parliament House on 28 May. Sengol will also be housed in this new building. Sengol is a kind of symbol of power transfer. At the time of independence, the then PM Jawaharlal Nehru had taken it from the British.

Giving this information in a press conference, Home Minister Amit Shah said, after independence, the Congress government had forgotten Sengol. But PM Modi will install it in the new Parliament House. This will be a reflection of the Amrit Mahotsav of Independence. Sengol is a tradition from the Chola dynasty.

Amit Shah further said, it is not right to keep Sengol in the museum. This is a symbol of getting power from the British. It will be placed next to the Speaker’s chair in the Parliament House.

Amit Shah said, when PM Modi came to know about Sengol, he asked to get more information about it. Nehru accepted this Sengol from the people of Tamil Nadu on 14 August 1945 around 10:45 am. It marks the transfer of power from the British to the people of this country.

PM Modi will also honor Shram Yogis during the inauguration of Parliament House. Shah told that the new building was constructed by 60 thousand laborers in a record time.
