  • lok sabha speaker: Prerna Sthal: Statues shifted to other places before also, says Om Birla

    Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on Sunday inaugurated the newlyconstructed ‘Prerna Sthal’ in the Parliament complex, consisting of statues of leaders and freedom fighters.

    Prerna Sthal was constructed to install the statues of leaders, including Mahatma Gandhi, at one place inside the Parliament House Complex.

    For building the Prerna Sthal, the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, which was near the new Parliament building has been shifted to another place inside the Parliament complex. That spot where the Gandhi statue was moved was used by the opposition MPs to protest against the government. Sharing the details of the project, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said an action plan has been made to make the life stories and messages of these great Indians available to visitors through new technology so that they could get inspiration from them. Birla said that even before, during the construction work of the new Parliament Building, the statues of Mahatma Gandhi, Motilal Nehru and Chaudhary Devi Lal were shifted to other places in the complex.

    Statues of freedom fighters and national icons have been relocated to a new enclosure on its premises, Prerna Sthal, following discussions with different stakeholders, Birla said. Therefore, with the aim of installing these statues in one place inside the Parliament House Complex, the Prerna Sthal has been constructed so that dignitaries and other visitors coming to the Parliament House Complex could conveniently see and pay tribute to these statues in one place.

    Inaugurating the Prerna Sthal, Dhankhar said he got inspiration by coming to this place and it isn’t “any less than a religious place” for all Indians.
