The national capital’s Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) will now be known as the Prime Minister’s Museum and Society (PMMS). The decision was taken in a special Friday meeting by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh. The Congress camp has surrounded the BJP regarding the historical change. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said Modi is another name for narrow-mindedness and vendetta.
On the other hand, former Union Minister and senior Congress leader Manish Tiwari made a scathing attack and said that the heritage does not disappear by renaming the buildings. Those who want to erase Jawaharlal Nehru’s contribution to the freedom struggle and building of modern India should once read Discovery of India and Glimpses of World History to understand the depth of Nehru.
