NEW DELHI: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Saturday lauded Delhi University’s Vice Chancellor for naming the varsity’s new college after BJP ideologue Veer Savarkar and accused those who opposed the decision of harbouring a “colonial mindset”.
On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for Veer Savarkar College at Roshanpura, Najafgarh.
“Savarkar was a great nationalist, but there is a section of society with a colonial mindset who have objections to the DU college being named after him. I want to thank the DU Vice Chancellor for dedicating the new college in his name,” Pradhan said.
