BJP leaders demand changing names of three places
Hindustan Times
|February 28, 2025
NEW DELHI: Three Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislators on Thursday sought to rename three areas of Delhi — Najafgarh to Nahargarh, Mohammadpur to Madhavpuram, and Mustafabad to Shiv Vihar — with legislator Neelam Pahalwan claiming that the people of Najafgarh suffered oppression during the Mughal era.
While Pahalwan raised the demand during the assembly session, deputy speaker Mohan Singh Bisht (Mustafabad) and Anil Sharma (RK Puram-Mohammadpur) raised the demands in conversations with reporters.
"My assembly constituency is a rural constituency sharing border with Haryana. When Mughal emperor Shah Alam II took control of Najafgarh, people here suffered a lot. During the 1857 revolt, Raja Nahar Singh fought and brought the area into the Delhi province. We made several appeals...when Parvesh Verma was our MP, we tried a lot to change the name of Najafgarh to Nahargarh. I hope that the entire house, the chief minister and all of you will support me in this (renaming)," Pahalwan said in the House.
