Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of the University of Delhi's upcoming college on Friday, named after Veer Savarkar

As Delhi University is set to name one of its upcoming colleges after Veer Savarkar, a political row has erupted over it with Congress's student wing demanding that the college be named after late former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh instead.

The NSUI has written to PM Modi, urging him to name Delhi University's new college after former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh rather than Veer Savarkar. They highlight Singh's contributions to establishing premier educational institutions and propose naming a world-class college and a central university in his honor,
