Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on August 16 hit out at the centre following the renaming of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) as the Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library (PMML) Society.
Nehru Memorial Renamed As Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library
The Congress leader said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi can never take away the gigantic contributions of the longest-serving Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in the country’s freedom struggle.
Taking to his official handle on X, formerly known as Twitter, Ramesh wrote, “From today, an iconic institution gets a new name. The world-renowned Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) becomes PMML-Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library. Modi possesses a huge bundle of fears, complexes and insecurities, especially when it comes to our first and longest-serving Prime Minister. He has had a single-point agenda of denying, distorting, defaming and destroying Nehru and the Nehruvian legacy.”
“He has erased N and put P instead. That P is really for pettiness and peeve. But he can never take away Nehru’s gigantic contributions to the freedom movement and his towering achievements in building the democratic, secular, scientific and liberal foundations of the Indian nation-state, all of which are now under assault by Modi and his drumbeaters,” he added.
