Congress called sacred Sengol as golden stick gifted to Nehru: BJP

BJP alleged that Congress displayed disregard for Hindu traditions by calling the sacred 'Sengol' a "golden stick gifted" to former PM Jawaharlal Nehru and tucking it away in a museum. The ceremonial sceptre, which will be installed in the new Parliament building, was given to Nehru to symbolise the transfer of power from the British to India in August 1947.
