Special Parliament Session Day 2 | PM Modi suggests new name for Old Parliament Building
New name for Old Parliament Building: As lawmakers and leaders bid farewell to the Old Parliament Building, Prime Minister Narendra Modi proposed new name to bid adieu to the Old Parliament Building where meetings of the Constituent Assembly were held to frame the Constitution.
Addressing at the Central Hall in the new Parliament Building, PM Modi suggested 'Samvidhan Sadan'- name for Old Parliament Building. He further added that every law made in the Parliament, every discussion held and every signal given should encourage the Indian aspiration.
Referring to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, PM Modi made a suggestion for giving a new name to the old parliament building which has seen history being made.
"I have a suggestion. Now, when we are going to the New Parliament, its (Old Parliament building) dignity should never go down. This should not be left just as the Old Parliament building. So, I urge that if you agree, this should be known as 'Samvidhan Sadan'," he said.

Meanwhile, PM Modi also called upon political parties to make the right decisions about the country’s future and not think only of political benefits.
PM Modi said, “We have to make the right decisions at the right time for the future. We cannot restrict ourselves to just thinking about the political benefits...Knowledge and innovation are the demands and we should focus on it. After Chandrayaan-3's success, our youth is inspired by the science and technology sector. We do not have to miss this opportunity."
"Now, we have to walk towards being the best in the world in the manufacturing sector. I had said from the Red Fort - Zero Defect, Zero Effect. There should be no defects in our products and the process should not have an effect on the environment. We have to go before the world with this 'Zero Defect, Zero Effect',” he added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the parliamentarians are moving to the new building with the determination to fulfil the resolve of a developed India.
Speaking at the joint sitting of two Houses of Parliament ahead of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha moving to the new building, PM Modi said, "Today, we are going to have the beginning of a new future in the new Parliament building. Today, we are going to the new building with the determination to fulfil the resolve of a developed India."
The Prime Minister said that India will have to “work on a larger canvas” and all laws that will be made and all debates in Parliament must be aimed at encouraging Indian aspirations. “If we cannot enlarge the canvas of our thinking, we will not be able to paint a picture of a grand India," PM Modi said.
"...In the 25 years of Amrit Kaal, India will have to work on a larger canvas. The time for us to get caught up in smaller issues is over. First of all, we will have to meet the goal of becoming Atmanirbhar Bharat...It is the need of the hour, it is everyone's duty. Parties do not come in its way. Sirf Dil chahiye, desh ke liye chahiye,"PM Modi said.
