Amid ongoing war of words between ruling and opposition parties over who should inaugurate new Parliament building, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has asked the grand old party to reflect on its behaviour.
This he said while pointing out that ‘now, Congress has heaped another shameful insult’.
The Thiruvaduthurai Adheenam, a holy Saivite Mutt, itself spoke about the importance of the Sengol at the time of India’s freedom, he said. Congress is calling the Adheenam’s history as BOGUS!, he alleged.
Amit Shah further tweeted “”Why does the Congress party hate Indian traditions and culture so much? A sacred ‘Sengol’ was given to Pandit Nehru by a holy Saivite Mutt from Tamil Nadu to symbolize India’s freedom but it was banished to a museum as a ‘walking stick’…Congress is calling Adheenam’s history BOGUS! Congress needs to reflect on their behaviour,” tweets Union Home Minister Amit Shah”.
According to Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, there is no proof that Lord Mountbatten, C. Rajagopalachari, or Jawaharlal Nehru ever referred to the “Sengol” as a sign of the British handing over authority to India.
He further said that Tamil Nadu’s ceremonial sceptre is being used for political purposes by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his drumbeaters.
