The New Indian Express Kannur|January 03, 2025
AN announcement for inaugurating a new college named after Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar triggered a political row, with the Congress and its student wing, NSUI, demanding that the college be renamed after former prime minister Manmohan Singh.

After the announcement, the NSUI wrote to the PM making three demands. "A world-class college under the University of Delhi named after Dr Manmohan Singh; a Central university dedicated to his name; and inclusion of his life journey-from a post-Partition student to a global icon - in academic curricula and political sphere," the NSUI's letter stated.

"Dr Singh's legacy as a scholar, economist, and public servant embodies resilience, merit, and dedication to public welfare. Naming institutions after him will inspire generations and honour his transformative vision," the letter read.
