Yesterday on 11th July 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the National Emblem in Delhi.
The news went viral on social media.
The National Emblem has been placed over the new parliament building and was unveiled by PM Modi.
The structure look beautiful. The emblem is heavy and weighs 9,500 kg.
A supporting steel structure of 6,500 kg has been made to support its weight.
The Prime Minister also attended a religious ceremony at the site
The emblem is 6.5 metre-tall and 4.34 metres in width
A statement from the PMO stated,
“The installation of the bronze National Emblem has gone through eight different stages of preparation
from clay modeling, computer graphic and finally to polishing.”
The emblem was created by Sunil Deore from Aurangabad, Maharashtra and Laxman Vyas from Jaipur, Rajasthan.
The fabrication was carried out in Aurangabad, Jaipur and Delhi and took nine months to complete.
Since it was not possible to take the emblem on the roof,
it was divided into 150 segments and assembled on the roof for 2 months from April 2022.
PM Modi interacted with the workers building the new Parliament, who told him that the work would be completed by October 2022.
PM Modi in a tweet said,
“We are proud of the worker's efforts and they inspire us. We will always remember their contribution."
Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and others too were present at the event.
After the unveiling the opposition parties said that this was wrong and were unhappy with it.
AIMIM Chief tweeted that PM Modi was wrong as the Constitution gives separate powers to parliament, government & judiciary.
It is the new parliament building
and the right to unveil the emblem should be with Om Birla, Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
PM Modi had no right to unveil the emblem and impose his authority. He has violated all constitutional norms.
