Renaming of Rajiv Gandhi Orang National Park in Assam: Rajya Sabha MP terms it ‘political vendetta’
The Hindu
The Cabinet meeting “abruptly decided” to withdraw the nomenclature of Rajiv Gandhi from the Rajiv Gandhi Orang National Park and turned it as Orang National Park only, Rajya Sabha MP Ripun Bora said.
Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Ripun Bora on Friday described as “political vendetta” the Assam government’s move to rename the Rajiv Gandhi Orang National Park in the State and demanded its restoration. In a letter to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Congress leader said history will always remember the late Prime Minister, who sacrificed his life for the unity and integrity of the country. In addition to this, he said, people of Assam will remember Rajiv Gandhi for his significant role in the historic 1985 Assam Accord which put an end to years of bloodshed during the Assam agitation.
