Not Savarkar, Name Delhi College After Manmohan Singh: Congress Student Body

The prime minister will also lay the foundation stones for two campuses in East and West Delhi.

“It is a matter of great pride for us that Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation for three new Delhi University projects tomorrow. The first project is the East Delhi campus, followed by the West Delhi campus and Veer Savarkar College in Najafgarh,” PTI quoted DU vice chancellor Yogesh Singh as saying.

"Through these additional infrastructure projects, we aim to create more seats and new opportunities, which will be ready within 1.5 to two years. I would like to express our gratitude to the government for investing in these projects," Singh added.

However, the Congress-affiliated students' wing, the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) has written to PM Modi, urging him to name the upcoming college after former prime minister Manmohan Singh instead of Savarkar.
