New Parliament Building Inauguration Live: Inauguration of new Parliament by PM is against spirit of constitution, says Sitaram Yechuri
CPI (M) leader Sitaram Yechuri slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that he has ignored the vice-president and president during the inauguration ceremony and Sengol represents feudal monarchy.
Modi inaugurates the new Parliament building amidst loud propaganda: “New Parliament, New India”. This declaration of a “New India” comes in the absence of the President of India, Vice President of India & opposition parties!
India = Nation & Citizen
New India = Raja & Praja— Sitaram Yechury (@SitaramYechury) May 28, 2023
Sengol belongs to the period of feudal monarchies, emperors & kings. Indian people overthrew such bondages and ushered in a secular democratic Republic where every citizen is equal. Sengol has no role in a democracy where people elect the government.
— Sitaram Yechury (@SitaramYechury) May 28, 2023
Modi invoked the Sengol presented to him. Apart from symbolising divine sanction to rule, the Sengol symbolises just and fair governance. The opposite Kodungal symbolises authoritarianism. Modi invokes Sengol, but practices Kodungal.
