The Guntur Municipal Corporation has painted the Jinnah Tower in the colours of the national flag.
The move comes in the backdrop of demands by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders in the State to either rename the structure or ‘allow the party workers to demolish it’. Stoutly opposing the demands, the Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC) reiterated that the structure was a symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity and that it would continue to stand the way it has over the past few decades.
