Dhankhar To Inaugurate 'Prerna Sthal' On Sunday
Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar is to inaugurate 'Prerna Sthal' on Sunday, which will house all statues of freedom fighters and other leaders that were earlier placed at different places in the Parliament complex.
An official statement stated that all members of Parliament have been invited to the event where the outgoing Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and other dignitaries are slated to be present.
While the Congress has lashed out at the decision to remove the statues from their existing place, the Lok Sabha secretariat has remarked that their placements at different places made it difficult for visitors to see them properly.
"The 'Prerna Sthal' has been constructed so that the dignitaries and other visitors coming to Parliament House Complex could conveniently see and pay tributes at these statues in one place." "An action plan has been made to make the life stories and messages of these great Indians available to the visitors through new technology," it said, PTI reported.
