UP's 'Mustafabad' to be renamed 'Kabirdham'

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announces

Lakhimpur Kheri (Uttar Pradesh) – Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that the name of ‘Mustafabad’ city in Uttar Pradesh would be changed to ‘Kabirdham’. He made this announcement after visiting the Vishwa Kalyan Ashram here.

मैंने यहां गांव का नाम पूछा तो बताया गया कि गांव का नाम है मुस्तफाबाद, एक भी मुस्लिम आबादी यहां नहीं रहती है, लेकिन नाम मुस्तफाबाद हो गया। हमने कहा कि अब ये नाम बदलना चाहिए। 'कबीरधाम' इसका नाम रखा जाए। हम प्रस्ताव मंगाकर इस कार्यक्रम को आगे बढ़ाएंगे।

यही है आत्मीयता का भाव।… pic.twitter.com/LmZ7DJ45by

Yogi Adityanath said that during the previous Government rule, Ayodhya was renamed Faizabad, Prayagraj was renamed Allahabad and Kabirdham was renamed Mustafabad. The opposition did so in the name of secularism; but this is a sham. We worked to develop these places by recognising their original identity.
