BJP MLA and party’s chief whip Abhay Verma on Tuesday proposed that portraits of leaders such as Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Dayanand Saraswati and Madan Mohan Malviya be put up in the Delhi Assembly gallery.
The proposal was submitted to Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta. “The proposal has been forwarded to the General Purposes Committee of the Assembly as per procedure. A decision will be taken on the proposal on Wednesday,” an official said.
Verma, the Laxmi Nagar MLA, said that the move is meant to commemorate the country’s “glorious past” and inspire the younger generations. “This will not only express our devotion and gratitude towards the nation but also instill the Vidhan Sabha with a lively historical awakening,” Verma said in his letter to Gupta.
Earlier, this year, AAP MLAs had alleged that the portraits of B R Ambedkar and Bhagat Singh were removed from the Assembly after the BJP came to power. The allegation was rejected by the BJP.
