The 9,500 kg bronze insignia was created by artists Sunil Deore and Romiel Moses, and they asserted that the original design has not changed. They said that the lion seemed different in the shot because it was taken at a low angle.

Digital Desk: Anupam Kher, a renowned
Bollywood actor, expressed his opinion on the National Emblem's placement atop
the new Parliament building on Wednesday. If the lion has teeth, they will
undoubtedly be displayed. After all, this is the Indian independence movement's
lion. The lion will also bite if necessary. "Jai Hind," The actor
tweeted a video taken at Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya.

Opposition
leaders objected to the image, saying the lion doesn't resemble the original
one, and the National Emblem on top of the new Parliament building has become
the focus of a new debate. Allegations have been made that the lion atop the
Parliament building is drawn in a hostile manner, with its teeth visible in
addition to the symbol's bated fangs.

The
9,500 kg bronze insignia was created by artists Sunil Deore and Romiel Moses,
and they asserted that the original design has not changed. They said that the
lion seemed different in the shot because it was taken at a low angle.

According
to Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, the disparity is due to the two
structures' different scales and heights. According to the author, "The
new building would scarcely be able to make out an exact reproduction of the
original if it were to be placed there." The 'experts' should be aware
that the new emblem is 33 metres above ground level, while the original located
in Sarnath is at ground level, the minister tweeted.

The
"aggressive" image of the lions has also drawn criticism from the Aam
Aadmi Party, which further asserted that no one has the right to alter any
aspect of our constitutional history.

"Narendra Modi Ji, please observe
the face of the lion, whether it is representing the statue of Great Sarnath or
a distorted version of the Gir lion. Please check it and, if necessary, repair
it, said Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, the Congress Leader in the Lok Sabha, on
Twitter.
