Sharing stage with Sharad Pawar, PM Modi slams renaming rows
PM Narendra Modi bemoaned on Tuesday a trend in which “people nowadays create a lot of hullabaloo and lose sleep if we decide to rename even a road after a prominent Indian figure instead of a foreign invader”. Modi was speaking in the context of iconic national leaders such as Sardar Patel standing their ground amid stiff opposition by then British rulers to the installation of Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak’s statue at Ahmedabad’s Victoria Garden — set up in 1897 — to commemorate the Queen’s diamond jubilee.
