BJP MP calls for renaming of Delhi roads after Hindu, Sikh icons
New Delhi, Apr 3 (PTI): BJP MP Rajkumar Chahar on Thursday urged the government to rename roads like Babar Road and Tughlak Road after Hindu kings.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, Chahar pointed out that several roads in the Lutyen's Zone were named after Mughal rulers.
Babar Road, Tughlak Road, Akbar Road, Humayun Road, Dara Shikoh Road are named after "Muslim invaders" and the government should change them after Hindu kings and icons, he said.
These roads should be named after Rana Sanga, Prithviraj Chauhan, Guru Gobind Singh, Maharaj Suraj Mal, Shivaji Maharaj, and Hemu Vikramaditya, he demanded.

Bengaluru: Karnataka’s district judiciary is facing a significant shortage of judicial officers, with approximately 27.5% of positions across the state's district courts remaining vacant.
According to data cited by The Times of India on Tuesday, out of a total of 21,541 positions, 5,926 remain unfilled, leading to concerns about the efficiency of the state's justice system.
Bengaluru city is particularly affected, with 835 vacancies out of 2,510 sanctioned posts. Bengaluru Rural courts follow closely with 532 vacant positions from a total of 1,003 sanctioned roles. Mandya district shows an alarming vacancy rate, with 376 vacancies against 844 sanctioned positions.
Several other major districts are also grappling with alarming staffing deficits, including Mysuru (299 vacancies) Belagavi (345), Tumakuru (279), Dakshina Kannada (312), and Hassan (207).
Apart from vacancies of judicial officers, 243 of the 1,395 sanctioned posts for district judge, ad-hoc district judge, senior civil judge and civil judge remain vacant, the report added.
Legal experts have stressed that addressing the judicial vacancy crisis should be a priority for the state government to ensure the effective functioning of the justice delivery system. These staffing shortages may contribute significantly to case backlogs and undermine public confidence in the judiciary.
Meanwhile, Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs M.B. Patil, recently stated in the legislative assembly that efforts to fill the vacancies are underway. He cited a notification from February 2025, which will see 158 civil judge positions filled in the near future.
