A poster with ‘Maharana Pratap Marg’ written on it was on Wednesday found pasted on an Akbar Road signboard in Lutyens’ Delhi, with the police later removing it. However, this is not the first time Akbar Road signboard has been defaced. In 2016, Akbar Road signboards were defaced and posters of’Maharna Pratap Marg’ were put up. Two years ago General V K Singh (retired) had written to the Union Minister for Urban Development, proposing that Akbar Road be renamed Maharana Pratap Road. Maharana Pratap was involved in a war with Emperor Akbar after he refused to accept the suzerainty of the Mughals.
