Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Friday described prime minister Narendra Modi as a ‘small small man overburdened by his insecurities,’ as he reacted to a report that stated that the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) is being renamed to ‘Prime Ministers Museum and Society.’

Jawaharlal Nehru, the country's first PM whose name the NMML bears, has a ‘name and legacy’ as the architect of the Indian nation-state,' noted Ramesh.

“Pettines & Vengeance, thy name is Modi. For over 59 years, NMML has been a global intellectual landmark and treasure hose of books & archives. It will henceforth be called Prime Ministers Museum & Society. What won't Mr. Modi do to distort, disparage and destroy the name & legacy of the architect of the Indian nation-state,” the Congress' General Secretary in-charge Communications, said in a tweet.
