Fringe group Hindu Sena deface Delhi's Babar Road signage, officials take it down

Fringe outfit Hindu Sena on Saturday defaced the signage for Babar Road in Central Delhi and replaced it with 'Ayodhya Marg' posters.

Hindu Sena president Vishnu Gupta said the outfit has been demanding for a long time that the name Babar Road should be changed.

"Hindu Sena had been demanding for a long time that the name of Babar Road should be changed after one of our great men. We have written letters to the Home Ministry and NDMC several times but no action has been taken yet. When Babar's Mosque is no more in Ayodhya after the order of the Supreme Court, then what is the function of Babar Road in Delhi?" Gupta told ANI news agency.

"When we see this road, it seems that even today we are living in the days of Babar. That is why we changed it to Ayodhya Marg," he added.

An official of New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) said they are getting the poster removed and will file a police complaint in the matter.
