Rename Akbar Road after late CDS Rawat: BJP media cell head

The Delhi BJP’s media department head has demanded that Akbar Road in Lutyens’ Delhi be renamed after late Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat.

In all letter to the New Delhi Municipal Council, Naveen Kumar Jindal said, “You are requested that the memories of the country’s first CDS be instilled permanently in Delhi by renaming Akbar Road after General Bipin Rawat. I believe this would be true tribute by the council to General Rawat.”

Kumar said Akbar was an “invader” and this is a prominent road so it should be named after General Rawat instead.
