Speaking at the foundation-laying ceremony of new Parliament building, PM Modi said that inauguration of the construction work of the new Parliament House of India is one of the most important stages of our democratic tradition.
“If the old Parliament House gave direction to post-independence India, the new building would become a witness to the creation of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’. If work is done to fulfill the needs of the country in the old Parliament House, then the aspirations of 21st century India will be fulfilled in the new building,” PM Modi said.
Today is a historic day. Today is a milestone in India’s democratic history. Inauguration of the construction of Parliament House of India is one of the most important stages of our democratic tradition. We, the people of India, will together build this new building of our Parliament. And what will be beautiful from this, what will be pure from this when India celebrates 75 years of its independence, So, the inspiration of that festival should be the new building of our Parliament,” he said.
