With optimism for the future, we are departing this structure. The prime minister stated, "I am convinced that once we enter the new Parliament building, we will go there with new hope and confidence. "Today is a day to honour the 7,500 MPs who have served in this country... I honour each and every brick in this structure," he remarked.In order to emphasise the historic significance of the old Parliament Building, Prime Minister Modi reminded that although foreign monarchs authorised its construction, Indians provided the sweat, labour, and funds. "Today, we are departing from this grand structure. This was the Imperial Legislative Council building before Independence, and it became the Parliament building after Independence', he remarked. "We may visit the new structure, but future generations will also be inspired by the old structure. This is a crucial phase in India's development, Modi stated.
