On Friday, signages bearing the name ‘Akbar Road’ in central Delhi were vandalised and posters were put up on them, declaring the stretch as ‘Maharana Pratap Marg’. This time, however, Hindu Sena claimed it was behind the act. So our workers decided to paste stickers of Maharana Pratap on the board stating Akbar Road. This is the BJP government and we expect the government to do it,” said Hindu Sena leader Vishnu Gupta. In May last year, Gen (retired) V K Singh had written to the Union Minister for Urban Development, proposing that Akbar Road be renamed Maharana Pratap Road.
