Politics Over Sengol | SP MP Demands Removal Of Sengol Says Replace Sengol With Constitution

Samajwadi Party MP RK Chaudhary stirred a row after he demanded that the Sengol, a historic sceptre, be replaced with the Constitution in the Lok Sabha, inviting backlash from the BJP and other NDA allies. In a letter to pro-tem Speaker Bhartruhari Mahtab, RK Chaudhary called Sengol an "anachronistic symbol of monarchy" in a democratic India. Explaining the rationale behind his demand, Chaudhary said, "Sengol means 'Raj Dand'. It also means 'Raja ka Danda'. After ending the princely order, the country became independent. Will the country be run by 'Raja ka danda' or the Constitution? I demand that Sengol be removed from Parliament to save the Constitution." Chaudhary's remarks drew heavy criticism from the BJP, with the party saying the Samajwadi Party was "hell-bent" on insulting an integral part of Indian and Tamil culture. "If it was a symbol of monarchy, then why did the first Prime Minister Nehru accept it? Was he accepting that symbol and monarchy," said BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla.
