The 'Sengol' will be installed close to the Chair of the Lok Sabha speaker.
New Delhi:
Home Minister Amit Shah today hit out at the Congress over its claim that there is no documented evidence
of Lord Mountbatten, C Rajagopalachari and Jawaharlal Nehru describing
the 'Sengol' as a symbol of the transfer of power by the British to
India. Several top BJP leaders and Ministers have also launched fresh
attacks on the Congress and other Opposition parties for announcing that they would boycott the inauguration of the new Parliament building.
"Why
does the Congress party hate Indian traditions and culture so much? A
sacred Sengol was given to Pandit Nehru by a holy Saivite Mutt from
Tamil Nadu to symbolize India's freedom but it was banished to a museum
as a 'walking stick'," he tweeted, accusing the grand old party of
heaping "another shameful insult".

The
Thiruvaduthurai Adheenam, a holy Saivite Mutt, itself spoke about the
importance of the Sengol at the time of India's freedom, Mr Shah said,
accusing the Congress of calling the Adheenam's history "bogus".
Now,
Congress has heaped another shameful insult. The Thiruvaduthurai
Adheenam, a holy Saivite Mutt, itself spoke about the importance of the
Sengol at the time of India's freedom. Congress is calling the
Adheenam's history as BOGUS! Congress needs to reflect on their
behaviour.

BJP
president JP Nadda said parties that are boycotting the inauguration of
the new Parliament building are dynasty-run, "whose monarchic methods
are at loggerheads with the principles of republicanism and democracy in
our Constitution".
In a series of tweets, Mr Nadda said the
boycott was an insult to the makers of the Constitution. Naming the
Congress and the "Nehru-Gandhi dynasty", the BJP chief said "elitist
mindsets" of dynasts are preventing them from logical thinking and they
are "unable to digest a simple fact that the people of India have placed
their faith in a man hailing from a humble background".
What connects most parties which are boycotting the inauguration of the new Parliament building?
The
answer is simple- they are dynasty run political parties, whose
monarchic methods are at loggerheads with the principles of
republicanism and democracy in our Constitution.
The
'Sengol' will be installed close to the Chair of the Lok Sabha speaker
after the new Parliament building is inaugurated by PM Modi on May 28,
an event being attended by 25 political parties, but 20 Opposition
parties, including the Congress, are boycotting.
Senior Congress
leader Jairam Ramesh has said that the Prime Minister and "his
drum-beaters" are using the sceptre for their political ends in Tamil
Nadu. "This is typical of this brigade that embroiders facts to suit its
twisted objectives," he said.
He claimed that a majestic sceptre
conceived of by a religious establishment in the Madras province and
crafted in Madras city (now Chennai) was indeed presented to Jawaharlal
Nehru in August 1947.
"There is no documented evidence whatsoever
of Mountbatten, Rajaji and Nehru describing this sceptre as a symbol of
transfer of British power to India. All claims to this effect are plain
and simple -- bodgus," he said.
"Wholly and completely
manufactured in the minds of a few and dispersed into WhatsApp, and now
to the drum-beaters in the media. Two of the finest Rajaji scholars with
impeccable credentials have expressed surprise," the Congress general
secretary communications said.
The new parliament building will
be inaugurated by the PM on Sunday, amid the Opposition raising the
pitch on PM Modi allegedly side lining President Droupadi Murmu, and
calling it "a direct assault" on democracy.
"Prime Minister Modi's
decision to inaugurate the new parliament building by himself,
completely sidelining President Murmu, is not only a grave insult but a
direct assault on our democracy... This undignified act insults the high
office of the President and violates the letter and spirit of the
constitution. It undermines the spirit of inclusion which saw the nation
celebrate its first woman Adivasi President," the opposition parties
said in a statement.
In a sharp counter-attack, the BJP-led
National Democratic Alliance (NDA) labelled the decision to boycott the
inauguration as a "blatant affront to democratic ethos and
constitutional values of our great nation".
