Congress lashes out at PM Modi over renaming of Nehru Memorial

This arose after the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society had a special meeting and decided to change its name to the Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library Society. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, the Society’s Vice-President, presided over the Special Meeting.

The NMML Executive Council authorised this project during its 162nd November 25, 2016 meeting. The Pradhanmantri Sangrahalaya opened to the public on April 21, last year.
