Protest if Dyal Singh College is renamed: Manjinder Singh Sirsa
There would be opposition and protest if needed by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) if Dyal Singh College is renamed as Vande Mataram Mahavidyalaya. SGPC president Kirpal Singh Badungar said, “I ask the college management to review its decision as changing its name will destroy its historic significance besides negating the legacy of Dyal Singh Majithia, after whom the college was named.” The DSGMC passed a resolution condemning the act of the Dyal Singh College governing body and asked it to withdraw the decision in a span of three days else they ll have to launch an agitation, said Manjinder Singh Sirsa, general secretary of the body. The NSUI, student wing of the Congress, said they were gearing up for a protest against the renaming of the college. The same college is being used for morning and evening shifts. The governing body should first improve basic facilities there. According to ABVP, this is the not the first evening college whose name has been changed. Earlier, the name of Deshbandhu College (evening) shift was changed to Ramanujan College and that of Ram Lal Anand Evening College to Aryabhatta. “But I agree with the students that basic facilities should be improved.” -PTC News
