"Trying To Destroy History": Sanjay Raut On Renaming Of Nehru Memorial Museum

The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society has been renamed as Prime Ministers' Museum and Library Society.

Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) MP Sanjay Raut on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the central government for renaming the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society and said that the BJP-led centre is trying to "destroy history".

The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society has been renamed as Prime Ministers' Museum and Library Society.

While talking to media persons, Sanjay Raut said, "I agree that the contribution of other PMs should be shown. A section can be made where contributions of other PMs can be displayed, but there is no need to change the museum's name."

Sanjay Raut accused the central government of messing with the country's history, saying, "Pandit Nehru's name could have been retained in the Prime Minister Museum. Pandit Nehru was our first Prime Minister and he had a great contribution. They are trying to destroy history, that's all."
