Congress hits back, names Sulabh toilet after Rishi Kapoor in Allahabad

New Delhi: Congress supporters protested against Rishi Kapoor's tweet where he spoke against the naming of roadways, airports and railway stations after the Gandhi family by naming a toilet after the veteran actor in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. On Monday, in Shivaji Park, a Sulabh toilet was named after the seasoned Bollywood actor. The naming of the Gandhi family is justified as India prospered after achieving freedom due to them, said protesters. It is pertinent to mention here that on May 17, Rishi Kapoor had taken to Twitter and questioned the naming of important places after Gandhi family members. Rishi Kapoor also said that such important places should be named after Bollywood actors and sport heroes.  

Why Indira G airport International ? Why not Mahatma Gandhi or Bhagat Singh Ambedkar or on my name Rishi Kapoor. As superficial! What say?
