Union HM Amit Shah accused Congress of reducing ceremonial sceptre Sengol to a walking stick and questions its hate for Indian culture
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday accused the Congress of reducing the ceremonial sceptre Sengol, which will be installed near the chair of the speaker in the new Parliament building, to a “walking stick” and terming stories behind it as “bogus”.
Amid the war of words between the ruling and opposition parties over the inauguration of the new Parliament building, Shah said the Congress needs to “reflect” on its behaviour as he denounced the party’s claim that there was no evidence of the Sengol being a symbol of transfer of power by the British to India in 1947.
