We will change all Mughal-period impure names in Bhopal ! – Bhopal MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh

Hindus expect the central government makes such changes across the country, not just Bhopal !

MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh

Bhopal (MP) – BJP MP Sadhvi Pragya Singh said that ‘naming a place on some person automatically influences the place and people residing there. The queen’s children were killed at ‘Lal Ghati’ in Bhopal. The assassination had caused the ghat to turn red. Lal means red and ghat means riverbank. The place was renamed to signify a ‘riverbank drenched with blood’. Similarly Halali Dam was after the Hindu kings who were killed there by deceit. These names and their history are apavitra (impure). In a way, such names spread impurity and negativity. We will change the names of all the places which have a bloodstained history from the Islamic times’. She has also demanded that  Halalpura Bus Stand and Islamnagar be renamed after freedom fighters. (Why is it that such demands have to be put forth ? Why doesn’t the Government itself change the names proactively ?- Editor)

Uma Bharti along with Pragya Thakur have demanded renaming of places around Bhopal as these names signify bloodshed of Muslim rulers.

Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Uma Bharati had recently sought to change the name of Halali Dam. She had written a letter to Berasia BJP MLA Vishnu Khatri in this regard and urged him take up the issue with the Minister for Culture and Tourism. Uma Bharti had written, “these places and their names are expressions of betrayal, deception and inhumanity in historical perspective.”
