New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday dedicated the new Parliament House to the nation. “New Parliament is a reflection of the aspirations and dreams of 140 crore Indians. This is a temple of our democracy that gives a message of India’s resolution to the world,” he said.
“When India moves forward, the world moves forward,” he said, adding that “it is our good fortune that we could restore the dignity of the sacred Sengol. Sengol will keep on inspiring us during the proceedings of the House. Our democracy is our inspiration and our Constitution is our resolution.”

Every brick, every wall, every particle of this new Parliament House will be dedicated to the welfare of the poor. It is the resolution of 140 crore Indians that consecrates the New Parliament.”
“New models can be established only by treading new paths,” the Prime Minister remarked as he highlighted that the new India is realizing new goals and paving new ways. “There is a new energy, new zeal, new enthusiasm, new thinking and a new journey. There are new visions, new directions, new resolutions and a new trust,” he said.
“India is not only a democratic nation but also the mother of democracy,” the Prime Minister said as he noted that the nation is the principal foundation for global democracy. He underlined that democracy is not just a system that is practiced in India but it is a culture, thought and tradition. /BI/
