At BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya’s demand, Bhopal civic body changes ‘impure’ names of two areas
Bhopal Municipal Corporation has decided to change the “impure” names of two areas in Madhya Pradesh’s capital city. The decision came after a demand was placed by Bhopal MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur.
According to the civic body’s decision, the Halalpur Bus Stand will be renamed Hanuman Garhi Bus Stand and Lal Ghati will be rechristened Mahendra Narayan Das Ji Maharaj Sarveshwar Chauraha.
Sadhvi Pragya said: “The word ‘Halal’ in Halalpur is impure. By removing the symbol of slavery, we again have the power to change the history of India. We also stand to change the history of Bhopal and rebuild it.”
“There have been many murders at the ‘Lalghati’ crossroads. Many brave heroes have been martyred. So we should pay our respects by forgetting the bloody past,” the BJP leader said. Supporting the proposal of the MP, corporation president Kishan Suryavanshi passed both resolutions.
