End to colonial mindset; new Parliament showcases resolve of new India: PM Modi
New Delhi, May 28: Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that the 'Amrit Kaal' will offer the nation a new direction and that the new parliament building should be a shining example of the country's vision and resolve of New India.
The Prime Minister said that the construction of the new Parliament building gave employment to over 60,000 labourers and a digital gallery has been created to honour their hard work.
"Several years of foreign rule took away our pride from us. But today, India has left behind that colonial mindset. India is the mother of democracy. It is also the foundation of global democracy. Democracy is our 'Sanskaar', idea and tradition," PM Modi said during his address.
He went on to say that there was a need for a new parliament and that the new building is outfitted with modern facilities and cutting-edge technology.
"There was a need for new parliament. We also have to see that the number of seats and MPs will increase in the coming time. That's why it was need of the hour that a new Parliament is made," he stated.
He added, "This building is equipped with modern facilities and has latest gadgets. It has given employment to over 60,000 labourers. We have created a digital gallery to honour their hard work".
The Prime Minister went on to say that the inspiration for Panchayat Bhawan and Sansad Bhawan is the same.
"As we sit in the new parliament, I find immense satisfaction in the accomplishment of building 4 crore homes and 11 crore toilets for the people, constructing 4 lakh kilometres of rural roads, constructing 50,000 Amrit Sarovar, and creating 30,000 new Panchayat Bhavans. From Panchayat Bhawan to Sansad Bhawan, our inspiration is the development of our country and its people."
'Amrit Kaal' will give a new direction to our nation to fulfil our vision of New India and this new building should be a shining example of our vision and resolve, he said.
"This new Parliament will become witness to the rise of a self-reliant India. When India surges ahead, the world also moves forward. Along with India, the new Parliament building will also contribute to the world's progress."
