Proposal to rename Mandi House circle as 'Acharya Abhinavgupt'

NEW DELHI: A proposal to rename Mandi House circle as ' Acharya Abhinavgupt' was today put forth before the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).

BJP MP from New Delhi constituency Meenakshi Lekhi supported the move saying it would be an honour to name the circle after Acharya Abhinavgupt, who belonged to Kashmir.

The programme was also organised by a Jammu and Kashmir based organisation on his centenary at Mandi House here.

Addressing the gathering, Lekhi said Kashmir is place of giving knowledge and it is necessary that the whole nation should be enlightened by the works of Acharya Abhinavgupt.
