Transgender Community Invited to Modi's Swearing-In Ceremony

About 50 transgender individuals have been invited to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi and his new cabinet. BJP MP Virendra Kumar highlighted this as part of Modi's inclusivity agenda. This is the first time such a formal invitation has been extended to the transgender community.

In a historic move, around 50 individuals from the transgender community have been invited to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi and the new cabinet ministers. This initiative aims to seek the community's blessings and emphasize inclusivity.

Prior to the event, BJP MP and former Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Virendra Kumar honored the transgender community members at his residence. Kumar stated, 'This is part of Prime Minister Modi's call for 'sabka saath sabka vishwas and sabha prayas'. Including transgender individuals in the ceremony underscores the PM's message of inclusiveness.'

This invitation marks the first time transgender people have been formally asked to participate in such a significant national event. Sonam Kinnar from the UP BJP unit expressed her support for the new government, despite her disappointment over the electoral results influenced by caste-based politics. 'We have full confidence in our PM and the situation will improve,' she said.
