Greater recognition and inclusion of transgender community in national affairs

In a historic first, around 50 members of the transgender community have been invited to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi and the new cabinet ministers. This gesture aims to bless the new government and emphasize inclusivity.

Before the ceremony, BJP MP and former Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Virendra Kumar honored the transgender community members at his residence. “This is part of Prime Minister Modi’s vision of ‘sabka saath, sabka vishwas, sabka prayas’ (together with all, trust of all, efforts by all). Including transgender people in the ceremony highlights the Prime Minister’s message of inclusivity,” Kumar reportedly stated to the media.

He also noted that this is the first time transgender individuals have been formally invited to such an event, acknowledging their contributions to the empowerment of their community.

Sonam Kinnar, representing the UP BJP unit, expressed pride in participating. She along with 50 members of transgender community will be attending the ceremony to bless the new government. Though they were saddened that PM Modi did not achieve the expected number of seats due to caste-based politics, they expressed full confidence in Prime Minister Modi, and believe the situation will improve.

This move signifies a step towards greater recognition and inclusion of the transgender community in national affairs.
