AAP MP urges more renaming of colonial-era places

Aam Aadmi Party MP Ashok Kumar Mittal praised the central government for renaming colonial-era places, such as Rajpath to Kartavya Path. He called for more changes, noting that many institutions still bear British names. Mittal highlighted that cities like Prayagraj have renamed but still retain colonial names for their high court and university. He urged state governments to rename institutions and suggested forming a parliamentary committee to recommend further changes. This discussion follows criticism from AAP leader Sanjay Singh, who accused the government of using renaming as a distraction from pressing issues like inflation and unemployment. The renaming efforts are part of a broader initiative by the BJP-led government to address India's colonial past.
