A new dress code with floral motif for Parliament staff kicked off a political row with the Congress dubbing it as “cheap” tactics to promote the ruling party’s poll symbol.
According to an internal circular issued by the Lok Sabha Secretariat as reported by PTI, the marshals, security staff and officials, chamber attendants and drivers have been issued new uniforms which they have to don once the new parliament building starts functioning.
The ‘bandhgala’ suit of bureaucrats will be replaced with a magenta or deep pink Nehru jacket. The shirts for them will also have floral design. The employees will wear khaki-coloured pants.
