Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually laid the foundation stones for two new Delhi University campuses at Surajmal Vihar and Dwarka, alongside Veer Savarkar College in Najafgarh.

PM Modi lays foundation stone for two new DU campuses

PM Modi laid the foundation stone for Veer Savarkar College at Roshanpura, Najafgarh, just a five-minute walk from the West Campus.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday virtually laid the foundation stones for two new Delhi University campuses and a college named after BJP ideologue Veer Savarkar.
The project, with an investment of over Rs 600 crore, aims to boost educational opportunities and modernise facilities.
The foundation-laying ceremony was held at Ashok Vihar where the prime minister also launched a slew of other infra projects for the national capital.
The East campus at Surajmal Vihar and the West campus at Dwarka Sector 22 are being added to the existing North and South campuses as part of DU's efforts to expand its presence across the city.
The East Campus, spanning 15.25 acres, is being developed at an estimated cost of Rs 373 crore. It will offer LLB, LLM and an integrated five-year LLB programme, alongside other multidisciplinary courses.
The campus will feature state-of-the-art facilities, including 60 classrooms, 10 tutorial rooms, six moot courts, four computer labs, two cafeterias and two common rooms, spread across a built-up area of 59,618 square metres.
The West Campus, being built at Rs 107 crore, will be a new academic block in the first phase. Covering 19,434.28 square metres, it will have 42 classrooms, two moot courts, a digital library, conference rooms, seminar halls and separate common rooms for boys and girls.
In addition to the campuses, Modi laid the foundation stone for Veer Savarkar College at Roshanpura, Najafgarh, just a five-minute walk from the West Campus.
The college, with a built-up area of 18,816.56 square metres and an estimated cost of Rs 140 crore, will offer modern facilities, including 24 classrooms, eight tutorial rooms, 40 faculty rooms, department libraries, conference rooms and a canteen.

Delhi University's decision to name a new college after Hindutva icon Veer Savarkar has sparked a fierce debate between the BJP and Congress. The Congress demands the college be named after former PM Manmohan Singh.

Delhi University college naming sparks BJP-Congress war over Savarkar

Hussain, a Rajya Sabha MP, accused the BJP of undermining the contributions of true freedom fighters by glorifying figures who had sought forgiveness from the British.

Delhi University's decision to name one of its upcoming colleges after Veer Savarkar, a prominent Hindutva icon, has ignited a heated debate between the BJP and Congress. The foundation stone for the Veer Savarkar College, set to be built in Najafgarh at an estimated cost of Rs 140 crore, will be laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday. The decision, approved by Delhi University's executive council in 2021, has led to a clash of ideologies.

The Congress party's student wing, the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), has opposed the move, urging that the college be named after the late former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who passed away last week. In a letter to PM Modi, the NSUI highlighted Singh&rsquo;s immense contributions to education, citing his role in establishing institutions such as IITs, IIMs, AIIMS, and introducing the Central Universities Act. The student wing emphasized that naming the college after Singh would inspire future generations and honor his transformative vision, particularly his reforms that liberalized the economy in 1991. They also proposed the creation of a central university named after Singh.
On the other hand, Congress MPs Naseer Hussain and Sukhjinder Randhawa criticized the BJP for honoring someone like Savarkar, who, according to them, had written mercy petitions to the British during colonial rule. Randhawa remarked that the PM should reconsider the decision, given Savarkar&rsquo;s past actions. Hussain, a Rajya Sabha MP, accused the BJP of undermining the contributions of true freedom fighters by glorifying figures who had sought forgiveness from the British.
In response, the BJP has firmly backed the decision. Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva defended the naming, asserting that Veer Savarkar was a freedom fighter, and the party welcomed the university&rsquo;s honor to him. BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla also questioned whether past leaders like Indira Gandhi and Uddhav Thackeray, who had praised Savarkar, were wrong in their assessment of him.
The controversy surrounding the naming of the college reflects a broader ideological divide between the two parties, with each seeking to shape the legacy of India&rsquo;s historical figures according to their own narrative.

Uddhav Thackeray: don't approve of Rahul's remark on Savarkar

The Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction has an alliance with the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party, as part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi.

Former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, who heads a faction of the Shiv Sena, on Thursday said his party has immense respect for V D Savarkar and he does not approve of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks on the freedom fighter.
Talking to reporters here, Thackeray also asked why the Centre has not conferred the Bharat Ratna on Savarkar.

During a rally in Washim district on Tuesday organised as part of his Bharat Jodo Yatra, Gandhi said Savarkar is a symbol of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
&ldquo;He was jailed in Andaman for two-three years. He started writing mercy petitions,&rdquo; the Congress MP had said.
The former Congress president had claimed Savarkar wrote a book on himself with a different name and highlighted how brave he was. &ldquo;He used to take pension from the British, work for them, and work against the Congress,&rdquo; Gandhi had said.
Thackeray on Thursday said, "We do not approve of Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Savarkar. We have immense respect and faith for Swatyantra Veer Savarkar and it cannot be erased.

Hindutva icon Veer Savarkar filed a mercy petition with the British during his incarceration in Andaman jail on suggestion from Mahatma Gandhi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Tuesday.
Byte Rajnath Singh: &ldquo;A lot of falsehood was spread against Savarkar. It was repeatedly said that he filed multiple mercy petitions before the British government. The truth is he did not file these petitions for his release. Generally a prisoner has right to file a mercy petition. Mahatma Gandhi had asked that you file a mercy petition. It was on Gandhi&rsquo;s suggestion that he filed a mercy petition"
Singh, while speaking at the launch of a book on Savarkar, added that his contribution to freedom struggle was maligned by those adhering to a certain ideology.
He further said that Savarkar had in fact inspired people to break the shackles of slavery and agitated against untouchability among various other social issues including women&rsquo;s rights.
