Raj govt accused of violating High Court order on renaming centers
Imagine there are community centers named after a former leader.
Some time ago, a court said the government couldn't change their names to something else.
The government followed the court's order and kept the original names.
Now, someone is saying the government is changing the names again, which they believe is against what the court had ordered.
They have written a letter to government officials to point this out.
They feel this is disrespectful to the court's decision.
Rajasthan government accused of violating a High Court order.
The move involves renaming 'Bharat Nirman Rajiv Gandhi Seva Kendras' to 'Bharat Nirman Seva Kendras'.
Sanyam Lodha, advisor to former CM Ashok Gehlot, alleges 'deliberate contempt of court'.
A 2018 High Court ruling had quashed a previous renaming of these centers.
The Congress government had restored the original name in 2019 following the court's directive.
