Rename JNU after PM Narendra Modi as 'MNU', says BJP MP Hans Raj Hans


Daijiworld Media Network - New Delhi (SR)

New Delhi, Aug 19: In an event organised by Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) in Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), on Saturday, popular singer and North-West Delhi MP Hans Raj Hans suggested that JNU should be renamed after Prime Minister Narendra Modi as 'MNU', post the success of abrogation of Article 370.

As reported in ANI, Hans Raj Hans was at JNU to perform at an event 'Ek shaam shaheedon ke naam', along with BJP legislator Manoj Tiwari, who echoed similar sentiments. "Pray that we all live in peace and no bombing takes place. I would say we should rename JNU after Prime Minister Narendra Modi as MNU. Something should be named after Modi ji," said Hans Raj Hans.

The BJP lawmaker blamed the country's first prime minister and said that it was Jawaharlal Nehru who committed mistakes in the past (with reference to Jammu and Kashmir). "We are paying for the mistakes of our ancestors," he said.

This is not the first time that the proposal to rename JNU has come up in the public debate. BJP Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy in 2016, had proposed to rename the university in the name of freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose.
