Muslim outfits oppose naming Aurangzeb Road in Delhi after APJ Abdul Kalam

Firstpost  

New Delhi: Muslim outfits on Monday objected New Delhi Municipal Council’s decision to rename Aurangzeb Road after late President APJ Abdul Kalam, terming it as a “deliberate” move that is “likely to set the trend of rechristening other cities/streets distorting history”. This is because soon after the road was named after Abdul Kalamji, Shiv Sena said it will change the name of Maharashtra’s Aurangabad district where the Mughal emperor’s graveyard is located. The decision was taken reportedly in the wake of a proposal by Girri who had also written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to consider renaming the road to correct “wrongs” of history and had said it will be a fitting tribute to the memory of Kalam widely regarded as ‘People’s President’. Welcoming NDMC’s decision, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray had on 29 August said the Aurangabad city in central Maharashtra too would be renamed as ‘Sambhaji Nagar’.
