'Prerna Sthal': Statues relocated in Parliament complex, their unveiling date, old location | Full list

Rajya Sabha chairperson and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar inaugurated the 'Prerna Sthal' in the Parliament complex on Sunday (June 16), which now houses the statues of national icons and freedom fighters that were earlier at different places on the premises. Amid criticism by the Congress over the relocation of statues from their original places, the VP said that the 'Prerna Sthal' will inspire and motivate people. The Congress claimed the decision to relocate the statues within the Parliament premises was taken by the ruling regime "unilaterally". Its sole objective was to not have the statues of Mahatma Gandhi and B R Ambedkar, which have been traditional sites of democratic protests, right next to where the Parliament actually meets, it alleged.
