**Congress Protests Renaming of Nehru Yuva Kendra in Kerala**

**Thrissur, Kerala – May 16, 2025** – The Thrissur District Congress Committee (DCC) staged a protest today at Thekke Gopura Nada, Thrissur, against the Union government’s decision to rename the Nehru Yuva Kendra to Mera Yuva Bharat.

DCC President Joseph Tajet, who inaugurated the protest organized by the Ayyanthole block committee, strongly condemned the renaming, stating that the current government is “afraid of even names.” He accused the ruling party of attempting to erase the legacy of prominent Congress leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi.

“Those who ask ‘What’s in a name?’ are quick to remove Nehru’s name but rush to insert names like Vajpayee and Deen Dayal Upadhyay. Why the double standard?” Tajet questioned.

The protest, attended by numerous Congress leaders, was described as a symbolic resistance against what organizers called “a systematic rewriting of history.” Tajet urged citizens to remain vigilant in protecting historical truths from being distorted. The DCC views the renaming as part of a broader pattern of historical revisionism by the current government.
