Reviving Sengol: From Museum to Parliament - A Symbol of Cultural Unity

Union minister J P Nadda highlighted the significance of the Sengol, a symbol of power transfer from the British, which was moved by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the new Parliament building. This action, along with cultural initiatives like the Kashi-Tamil Sangamam, aims to strengthen national unity.

Union Minister and BJP President J P Nadda emphasized the historical significance of the Sengol on Friday, noting the contrast between its past and present placements. Initially housed in a museum by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru after India's independence, it has since been relocated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the new Parliament building, adhering to Vedic traditions.

Nadda praised various cultural initiatives undertaken by Modi, such as the Kashi-Tamil Sangamam, highlighting them as efforts to unify India's diverse cultural landscape. 'Prime Minister Modi has worked tirelessly to maintain the country's cultural unity,' Nadda stated, referencing numerous initiatives that envelop different regions of India.

He further elaborated on Indian efforts to preserve and enhance cultural heritage, linking them closely with economic growth. Nadda's remarks came during his visit to the Kashi-Tamil Sangamam 3.0, where he underscored historic contributions to national unity, participated in cultural events, and toured exhibitions showcasing the country's rich heritage.
