NEW DELHI: The Qutb Minar, which is recognised as a World Heritage Site by Unesco has come under fire as the right-wing groups have demanded that the iconic monument be renamed as 'Vishnu Stambh'.
As per reports, activists from the Mahakal Manav Sewa and other right-wing outfits were seen holding placards and raising slogans amid heavy police deployment at the Qutb Minar.
Meanwhile, protesters also chanted the Hanuman Chalisa while camping near the Qutb Minar.
Meanwhile, the Delhi BJP has sought that the names of other landmarks in the national capital, like Akbar Road, Humayun Road, Aurangzeb Lane and Tughlak Lane, be changed as they are named after Mughal rulers.
In a letter to the North Delhi Municipal Corporation chairman, Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta has suggested that the streets be renamed after Maharana Pratap, Guru Govind Singh, Maharshi Valmiki and General Vipin Rawat.
