Modi govt blasts ‘experts' over Ashokan Lions criticism: ‘sense of proportion…’

Hindustan Times  

Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Tuesday defended the depiction of the national emblem cast atop the new Parliament building after the opposition parties' criticism of the alleged ferocious makeover. “If one looks at the Sarnath emblem from below it would look as calm or angry as the one being discussed.” On Monday, Prime Minister Modi unveiled the national emblem cast on the roof of the new Parliament building. Artists say no distortion amid row over ‘aggressive’ emblem Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said the government should check whether the national emblem of Parliament represents "the statue of Great Sarnath" or "is a distorted version of GIR lion". A former senior official of the Archaeological Survey of India said that the depiction of lions in the national emblem is a "good copy" of Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka, reported ANI.
