Congress opposes move to rename Nehru Yuva Kendra

Kochi, May 16 (UNI) Criticising the Centre for its decision to rename Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan, Opposition leader in Kerala Assembly VD Satheesan said "disrespecting Nehru’s contribution is disrespecting India’s foundation."
"The move to rename Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan exposes BJP-RSS's obsession with rewriting history," the Congress leader said.
"Disrespecting Nehru’s contribution is disrespecting India’s foundation. BJP and RSS are distorting history for petty politics," he added.
Meanwhile, Congress leader KC Venugopal said, "No matter how much the Sangh Parivar tries, removing Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru’s name from prominent institutions will not erase his towering legacy."
The ‘My Bharat' program is nothing but a rebranded version of the popular Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) set up across India’s villages since 1972. This shows that the regime is hell-bent on destroying established institutions to fulfil its political agenda of erasing one of the nation’s founding fathers because inclusive, progressive icons like Gandhiji and Nehruji deeply irk them."
"The NYKS is recognised across the country for providing community service to lakhs of ordinary citizens and training thousands of youngsters through its program," Venugopal said.
The government’s attempt at destroying it by creating new, directionless institutions shows their lack of regard for time-tested institutions that have contributed to nation-building for decades, he said
"The Centre must withdraw this decision to rebrand the NYKS," he demanded.
