Narendra Modi debuted the new Ashoka Pillar
On Monday, July 11, 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the national anthem atop the new Parliament Building. Om Birla, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, was also present. The Ashoka Pillar, the country’s symbol, stands 6.5 meters tall and weighs 9500 kg of bronze in total.
To support the insignia, it is cast on top of the New Parliament Building’s main foyer, which is made of steel plate weighing about 6500 kg.
So, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the Ashoka Pillar (or Ashok Stambh), the country’s National Emblem, on the roof of the new Parliament House. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla attended the event.
Along with other dignitaries, Pralhad Joshi, the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Coal and Mines, Hardeep Singh Puri, the Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Harivansh, the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, and others attended the event.
The new Ashoka Pillar was unveiled by Narendra Modi.
There have been eight steps of preparation for the concept sketch and casting process for the National Emblem on the roof of the new Parliament House, from clay modeling and computer graphics through bronze casting and polishing. The new Parliament building’s construction is proceeding according to plan, and the civil work is nearly finished. So far, 62 percent of the work has been finished.
Big Ashoka Pillar
The enormous Ashoka Pillar is currently serving as a testament to the realization of the hopes of the BJP government and its constituents. Inquiries are being made by the opposition. Amit Shah said in tweets and writings that the new Parliament House would symbolize a modern, independent India and serve as a testimony to the realization of the goals and hopes of the populace. This country’s flag will also always remain bright like a crown jewel, adding to its beauty.
After eight steps, the Ashoka Pillar insignia on the roof of Parliament House was created. The administration has received harsh criticism for spending more than Rs 200 crore on the construction of this new Parliament building. According to reports, this expenditure is rising for commodities like steel, electronics, and other things. The Lok Sabha Secretariat is anticipated to give the CPWD permission to boost its spending.
