The Opposition leaders alleging that it had ‘communal motives’.
The Haryana government’s proposal to rename the city’s civil hospital after late Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee is mired in controversy with the Opposition leaders alleging that it had “communal motives”.
Rechristened as “Nagrik Hospital” four years ago along with all civil hospitals in the State, it was earlier known as “Badshah Khan Hospital” after prominent leader Abdul Ghaffar Khan.
A letter from Director General Health Services, Haryana, to the Chief Medical Officer, Faridabad, earlier this month says Chief Minister Manohar Lal has desired that Civil Hospital, Faridabad, be renamed “Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee Hospital, Faridabad”.
