Badal: Renaming Dyal Singh College to Vande Mataram an attempt to create communal disharmony

New Delhi Nov 24: The renaming of Dyal Singh College to Vande Mataram Mahavidyalaya has raised many doubts and on Thursday, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal has sought intervention of PM Narendra Modi in this issue.

According to the letter by the former deputy chief minister of Punjab, the renaming of the college was an "attempt to create communal disharmony by some mischievous elements".

The entirely needless and dangerous controversy over the renaming of the Dyal Singh College, named after nation builder Dyal Singh Majitha, will only bring a bad name to the democratic and secular society," Badal alleged.



He claimed there were countless institutions being run in the name of leaders such as Sardar Bhagat Singh and Mahatama Gandhi but no one would think of replacing these names with 'Vande Mataram'.

"It will be hard to understand the rationale or the mindset behind such move" he added.
