Sengol not symbol of...: Congress counters BJP amid new Parliament fight

Amid a political tussle over the inauguration of the new Parliament building, the Congress has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of lying regarding the significance of the 'Sengol' sceptre.

The BJP said that the 'Sengol' was a symbol of the transfer of power from the British but was sidelined after independence by the Congress.

Former Union minister Jairam Ramesh retorted on May 26, 2023, by saying that there was no documented evidence of Mountbatten, Rajagopalachari or Nehru describing the sceptre as a symbol of power transfer.

He called BJP's claims "wholly and completely manufactured".
