New Delhi, May 10 (UNI) Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta on Tuesday urged the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) to rename roads, including Akbar Road after great personalities, stating that these were symbols of slavery. In a letter addressed to the NDMC Chairman, Gupta proposed to change the name of Tughlaq Road to Guru Gobind Singh Marg, Aurangzeb Lane to APJ Abdul Kalam Lane, Babar Lane to Khudiram Bose Lane, as per a copy of the letter shared by him on social media. Among others, Humayun Road to Maharishi Valmiki Road and Shahjahan Road to General Bipin Singh Rawat Road. Gupta's letter to NDMC comes days after he sent a memorandum to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, requesting him to rename 40 villages in the national capital after great personalities from different walks of life. "We are now celebrating 75th year of our freedom as 'Amrit Mahotsav' and in such a scenario, no Delhiite wants a symbol of slavery in the national capital, including people from these villages," he had said.
