Private Lease of JPNIC Building Called Disrespect to Jayaprakash Narayan

The MP also condemned the decision to lease the Jayaprakash Narayan International Centre (JPNIC) to a private consortium. He described the move as an insult to the legacy of Jayaprakash Narayan and India’s freedom struggle. When the SP was in power and Akhilesh Yadav served as chief minister, a large structure was erected in Lucknow to honor Narayan. The current government’s attempt to sell the property, according to Avadhesh Prasad, undermines that tribute and reflects a lack of respect for historical icons.
