Members of Hindu Jagruti Sene have urged the district authorities to rename Islamabad Colony in Kalaburagi as it resembles the 'capital' of Pakistan. Sene district president Laxmikant Swadi, addressing a press conference in Kalaburagi on Sunday, said that Islamabad Colony should be named after an Indian who has made significant contribution for the nation. The Sene members also suggested a few names to be considered for renaming the colony, including the 14th Century Sufi Saint Hazrat Khwaja Bande Nawaz, Param Vir Chakra award winner Abdul Hamid, Brigadier Mohammad Usmaan, the former President of India and aerospace scientist A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Shehnai maestro Ustad Bismillah Khan and Tabla maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain. The Sene members will stage a protest in the city and submit a memorandum to Kalaburagi City Corporation Commissioner on Tuesday demanding renaming the colony immediately. They warned that name boards with the existing name will be smeared with black paint, if the authorities fail to rename the colony immediately.
