He said that it was a pity that such dirty minds want to misuse the name of the Nationalism for their personal gains.

Mr. Sirsa said that Mr. Sukhbir Singh Badal President the Shiromani Akali Dal and Union Minister Mrs Harsimrat Kaur Badal who have also taken up the issue with Prime Minister and Union HRD Minister respectively. He said that this issue is not confined to renaming only but a deliberate attempt with mala fide intentions is being made by the persons who have moved the proposal in this regard to erase the name of the Sikh legends who have contributed towards nation building.
The DSGMC General Secretary said that though tweets of the BJP leadership have already made it clear that they were opposed to such gimmicks but it was strange that such persons with their vested interests were not only trying to gain publicity but were all out create a social trouble.
