Thrissur Regional Congress Committee (DCC) President Joseph Tajet, who condemned Nehru Yuva Kendra for his recent renaming of Nehru Yuva Kendra to Mera Yuva Bharat, said the country’s existing rulers were even afraid of names. Mr Tajet said in a protest in conjunction with the Ayanthole Block committee that the changed name reflects the legacy of leaders such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi. “Those who ask ‘what’s name?’ quickly delete Nehru’s name, but are eager to insert names like Vajpayee and Deen Dayal Upadhyay. He asked.

He said India is at a time when citizens must remain vigilant to protect historical truths from being distorted by public forces. The protests at Thekke Gopura Nada are symbolic resistance to “system rewriting history.” Many congressional leaders participated in the protests.
