Mumbai: Newly-elected Baramati MP Supriya Sule has accused the Centre of insulting the citizens of India by removing the statues of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Dr B R Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi from the Parliament House premises.
The Lok Sabha Secretariat has earlier said that the statues of the national icons were shifted and being respectfully installed in a grand 'Prerna Sthal' in the Parliament House premises as visitors were not able to see these statues conveniently due to their location at different places in the Parliament premises.
In a post on X, Sule said, "The grand statues of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Bharat Ratna Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and Rashtrapita Mahatma Gandhi were removed from the Sansad Bhavan premises. This act is very infuriating. The people of India had installed the statues out of their love for these national icons. By removing the statues, the government has insulted the people of India."
