No decision on ‘PMs memorial’ at Teen Murti Bhavan in Nehru Memorial Museum and Library
A plan to build a memorial for all former prime ministers in the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) at the Teen Murti Bhavan complex came up for discussion at the annual general body meeting here today but no decision was taken.
The meeting, chaired by Home Minister and NMML Society vice president Rajnath Singh and attended by Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Karan Singh besides others, resolved that there will be no “tinkering” of the present structure, which was set up in memory of first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
“There was a general discussion but there was no decision. It is a heritage building. There will be no tinkering with the original structure,” NMML Society member and Congress Rajya Sabha MP Karan Singh told reporters after the meeting.
He was replying to a question whether the proposal to build a memorial for all former prime ministers were discussed.
He said there may be an upgrade of the building and a new building may come up “but it will be done with the full cooperation of everyone”.
Singh, however, made it clear that there will be no denigration of the present structure – the Teen Murti Bhavan – which was the residence of Nehru.
