A BJP MP has requested the Railway Minister to rename a railway station in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, citing the current name's association with a wanted criminal. The MP wants the station renamed after Maharana Pratap. The MP, Satish Gautam, argues the station's current name, Daud Khan, lacks historical relevance to the area and is linked to a terrorist. He emphasized the lack of local support for the name. Gautam believes the Railway Minister will consider his request, highlighting the minister's history of implementing new initiatives. The station was established in 1894.
