More than 70 youth attended the second event as part of the LEARN Project launched by MP Assaduddin Owaisi on February 21 in Hyderabad.

“ Should we change names of cities?” was the topic of debate to allow voices of dissent to be heard and have a healthy debate in a democratic atmosphere.

Among the 10 youth who participated in the debate, two of them did not mind the change in the names of the cities as long as it was for the good of the city and not just for political gains or to create a communal divide.

Listen here what the youth of Hyderabad have to say:
