New Delhi, Jan 30: Welcoming President Droupadi Murmu's move to rename all the gardens of Rashtrapati Bhawan in Delhi including Mughal Garden as 'Amrit Udyan', Muslim Rashtriya Manch, a Muslim wing of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Saturday (Jan 28) said that the new name symbolises 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'.

 

 

 

 

The National Media Incharge of RSS' Muslim wing Shahid Saeed said that 'Amrit' means power, which is immortal or which is seen in association with the gods. Therefore, the 'Udyan' is given such great importance and such great vastness. He said, "Amrit Udyan is the eternal idea of India, which reflects 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family)'. It reminds me of the ancient sages of India. 5000 years ago, Lord Shri Krishna inspired Arjuna to establish Indraprastha in place of Khandavprastha at this very place."

 

 

 

 

 

 

President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday (Jan 28) gave a common name to the gardens as 'Amrit Udyan' to mark celebrations of 75 years of Independence as 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav'. The gardens at Rashtrapati Bhavan also included Mughal Garden. Amrit Udyan will open for public on Jan 31. Ajay Singh, Press Secretary to President, had said on the occasion that the collective identity of all the gardens at Rashtrapati Bhavan will be 'Amrit Udyan'. "Earlier there were descriptive identities, now a new identity has been given to the gardens," he had said.

Besides, Union Rural Development Minister Giriraj Singh also welcomed the move by saying that the country should celebrate its independence in a true manner. Members of Rashtriya Muslim Manch also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for naming the 21 largest unnamed islands of Andaman and Nicobar in the names of national heroes and termed it a commendable step. "The islands whose names were changed included the names of the British oppressors. Manch believes that it was very sad that the names that were still floating around included the names of British generals 'Havelock', 'Neil' and 'Ross' who crushed Indian freedom fighters and inflicted countless tortures. The Manch believes that the names of such people should not have been mentioned at all. And for this, whatever praise may be given to Narendra Modi is less," he said.
