भारतीयता के विचार से ओत-प्रोत, भारत के संसद भवन के निर्माण का शुभारंभ हमारी लोकतांत्रिक परंपराओं के सबसे अहम पड़ावों में से एक है: प्रधानमंत्री
पुराने संसद भवन ने स्वतंत्रता के बाद के भारत को दिशा दी, तो नया भवन आत्मनिर्भर भारत के निर्माण का गवाह बनेगा : पीएम मोदी
भारत में लोकतंत्र एक संस्कार है। भारत के लिए लोकतंत्र जीवन मूल्य है, जीवन पद्धति है, राष्ट्र जीवन की आत्मा है : प्रधानमंत्री
भारत के लोकतंत्र में समाई शक्ति ही देश के विकास को नई ऊर्जा दे रही है, देशवासियों को नया विश्वास दे रही है: प्रधानमंत्री मोदी

प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी ने आज नए संसद भवन की आधारशिला रखी। नया भवन आत्मनिर्भर भारत की दृष्टि का एक स्वाभाविक हिस्सा है।आजादी के बाद पहली बार लोगों की संसद बनाने का यह एक शानदार अवसर होगा, जो 2022 में स्वतंत्रता की 75वीं सालगिरह पर ‘न्यू इंडिया’ की जरूरतों और आकांक्षाओं को प्रतिबिंबित करेगा।

इस मौके पर प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा कि आज का अवसर भारत के लोकतांत्रिक इतिहास में एक मील का पत्थर है, जोभारतीयता के विचार से भरा हुआ है। उन्होंने कहा कि भारत के संसद भवन के निर्माण की शुरुआत हमारी लोकतांत्रिक परंपराओं के सबसे महत्वपूर्ण चरणों में से एक है। उन्होंने देशवासियों का आह्वान करते हुए कहा कि वे साथ मिलकर संसद के इस नए भवन का निर्माण करें। उन्होंने कहा कि हमारी संसद की इस नई इमारत से कुछ भी अधिक सुंदर या अधिक शुद्ध नहीं हो सकता, जब भारत अपनी आजादी के 75 साल मनायेगा।

प्रधानमंत्री ने उस क्षण को याद किया जब उन्होंने 2014 में संसद सदस्य के रूप में पहली बार संसद भवन में प्रवेश किया था। उन्होंने कहा कि पहली बार संसद भवन में प्रवेश करने से पहले, उन्होंने सिर झुकाया और लोकतंत्र के इस मंदिर को प्रणाम किया। उन्होंने कहा कि नए संसद भवन में कई नई चीजें तैयार की जा रही हैं जो संसद सदस्यों की दक्षता में वृद्धि करेंगी और उनकी कार्य संस्कृति को आधुनिक बनाएंगी। उन्होंने कहा कि यदि पुराने संसद भवन ने स्वतंत्रता के बाद भारत को दिशा दी, तो नया भवन देश को'आत्मनिर्भर’बनाने का साक्षी बनेगा। यदि पुराने संसद भवन में देश की जरूरतों को पूरा करने के लिए काम किया गया था, तो21वीं सदी की भारत की आकांक्षाओं को नए भवन में पूरा किया जाएगा।

प्रधानमंत्री ने कहा कि अन्य जगहों में लोकतंत्र चुनाव-प्रक्रियाओं, शासन और प्रशासन से जुड़ा है। लेकिन भारत में लोकतंत्र जीवन मूल्यों के बारे में है, यह जीवन की पद्धति है और राष्ट्र की आत्मा है। उन्होंने कहा कि भारत का लोकतंत्र सदियों के अनुभव के माध्यम से विकसित एक प्रणाली है। भारत के लोकतंत्रमें एक जीवन मंत्र है, जीवन का एक तत्व है और साथ ही व्यवस्था की एक प्रणाली भी है। उन्होंने कहा कि यह भारत की लोकतांत्रिक ताकत है जो देश के विकास को नई ऊर्जा दे रही है और देशवासियों को नया विश्वास दे रही है। उन्होंने कहा कि भारत में लोकतंत्र का हर साल निरंतर नवीनीकरण होता है और यह देखा जाता है कि हर चुनाव के साथ मतदाताओं की संख्या बढ़ती जा रही है।

प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेन्द्र मोदी ने कहा कि भारत में लोकतंत्र हमेशा से शासन के साथ मतभेदों को हल करने का एक साधन रहा है। विभिन्न विचारधाराएं, विभिन्न दृष्टिकोण एक जीवंत लोकतंत्र को सशक्त बनाते हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि हमारा लोकतंत्र इस लक्ष्य के साथ आगे बढ़ा है कि मतभेदों के लिए हमेशा जगह रहती है क्योंकि यह प्रक्रिया से पूरी तरह से पृथक भी नहीं है। उन्होंने जोर देकर कहा कि नीतियां और राजनीति भिन्न हो सकती हैं, लेकिन हम जनता की सेवा के लिए हैं और इस अंतिम लक्ष्य के लिए कोई विभेद नहीं होना चाहिए। उन्होंने कहा कि बहसें,संसद के भीतर हों या बाहर,लेकिन इन बहसों में राष्ट्रसेवा के प्रति दृढ़ संकल्प और राष्ट्रहित के प्रति समर्पण निरंतर परिलक्षित होना चाहिए।

प्रधानमंत्री ने लोगों से यह याद रखने का आग्रह किया कि लोकतंत्र के प्रति आशावाद को जगाये रखने की जिम्मेदारी लोगों की हीहै, और यही संसद भवन के अस्तित्व का आधार है। उन्होंने याद दिलाते हुए कहा कि संसद में प्रवेश करने वाला प्रत्येक सदस्य जनता के साथ-साथ संविधान के प्रति भी उत्तरदायीहोता है। उन्होंने कहा कि लोकतंत्र के इस मंदिर का अभिषेक करने के लिए कोई रीति-रिवाज़ नहीं हैं। लोगों के प्रतिनिधि जो इस मंदिर में आयेंगे, वे ही इसका अभिषेक करेंगे। उन्होंने कहा कि उनका समर्पण, उनकी सेवा, आचरण, विचार और व्यवहार इस मंदिर का जीवन बन जाएगा। भारत की एकता और अखंडता के प्रति उनके प्रयास ऐसी ऊर्जा बन जाएंगे, जो इस मंदिर को जीवन प्रदान करेंगे। उन्होंने कहा कि जब प्रत्येक जनप्रतिनिधि अपने ज्ञान, बुद्धिमत्ता, शिक्षा और अनुभव को यहां पूरी तरह से प्रस्तुत करेगा, तो यह नया संसद भवन पवित्रता प्राप्त करेगा।

प्रधानमंत्री ने लोगों से आग्रह किया कि वे भारत को सबसे पहले रखने का संकल्प लें, केवल भारत की प्रगति और भारत के विकास की पूजा करें, हर निर्णय देश की ताकत बढ़ाए और देश का हित सर्वोपरि हो। उन्होंने सभी से प्रतिज्ञा लेने को कहा कि उनके लिए राष्ट्रहित से बड़ा कोई हित नहीं होगा। देश के लिए उनकी चिंता उनकी अपनी व्यक्तिगत चिंताओं से अधिक महत्वपूर्ण होगी। देश की एकता, अखंडता से ज्यादा उनके लिए कुछ भी महत्वपूर्ण नहीं होगा। देश के संविधान की गरिमा को बनाये रखने और आदर्शों को पूरा करना ही उनके जीवन का सबसे बड़ा लक्ष्य होगा।
