New Delhi: A special session of Parliament has been called from next week i.e. between 18 to 22 September. Many types of political speculations are being made on this. Meanwhile, sources have reported that a new dress code can be implemented in both the houses of Parliament. Lok Sabha officials familiar with the matter said staff inside and outside both Houses of Parliament will wear the new uniform when moving into the new Parliament building next week. They said that old dresses will be replaced by new dresses that will have the ‘Indian touch.”
It has now been reported that the session will begin in the old building and will later be moved to the new Parliament building on September 19, after Ganesh Chaturthi ‘pooja’. The uniform has been created by the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT).
Marshals stand near the Speaker’s seat and assist the Presiding Officers in their daily work. According to the new dress code, Marshals will now wear cream colored kurta pajama instead of safari suit and will also have Manipuri cap on their head instead of turban. There will be a new dress code for the Parliament Duty Group (PDG) as there is a full possibility of new changes in Amrit Kaal, sources said. They also said that all women employees of Parliament will wear new design sarees.
Officials of the five departments will also give up their light blue safari suits and instead wear sports button-down shirts with lotus motif. Apart from this they will wear cream colored jacket and light white pants. This will be a significant change from the existing blue, fawn and charcoal colored safari suits as per the departments.
Of course, the lotus is the national flower of India, but the proposal could give rise to political controversy as it is also the election symbol of the Centre’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). According to officials, all 18 National Institutes of Fashion Technology (NIFT) were asked to suggest design proposals for the new uniform. “An expert committee has finalized the new uniform from those proposals,” an official said.
