Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal in a letter to Human Resource Minister Prakash Javadekar wrote about the trouble that the name changing of the Dyal Singh College is causing in Punjab. Former Deputy Chief Minister and Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and “nip an attempt to create communal disharmony by some mischievous elements, who want to rename the Dyal Singh (Evening) College, Delhi, as Vande Mataram Mahavidyalaya”. The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) also passed a resolution against the move, stating that it has hurt the sentiment of Sikhs. The college’s Governing Body recently decided that Dyal Singh (Evening) College would be called Vande Mataram Mahavidyalaya once it is converted to a morning college. Since Dyal Singh (Morning) College already exists, Dyal Singh (Evening) College — set up in 1958 and the first evening college in Delhi University — will have to be renamed. -PTC News-
