Aurangzeb Road signboards were blackened on Sunday by Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa and other Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) members. The group demanded 'removal of Aurangzeb's name from roads and books'. Speaking to news agency ANI, Sirsa said, "Guru Tegh Bahadur sacrificed his life against Aurangzeb's attempts of forceful conversions. We oppose Aurangzeb's name on the streets and books, he was a murderer. Seeing his name on streets hurts our sentiments."
Sirsa is a senior SAD leader and MLA from the Rajouri Garden seat.
