Objecting to the renaming of the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) as the Prime Ministers’ Memorial and Museum Library (PMML), the Congress on Wednesday said the move displayed the Narendra Modi government’s “pettiness” in trying to remove Jawaharlal Nehru’s legacy.
In a statement, posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Congress general secretary (communication) Jairam Ramesh alleged that the Modi government had the “single point agenda of denying, distorting, defaming and destroying Nehru and the Nehruvian legacy”.
“From today, an iconic institution gets a new name. The world renowned Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) becomes PMML—Prime Ministers’ Memorial Museum and Library. Mr. Modi possesses a huge bundle of fears, complexes and insecurities, especially when it comes to our first and longest serving Prime Minister,” Mr. Ramesh said.
