Jinnah Tower located in Andhra Pradesh landed in a bid controversy after the AP wing of BJP and a few Hindu groups have raised a new demand that the centre should be named after former President of India A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.

Tension gripped the Jinnah Tower centre when a few Hindu group activists were arrested by the Police when they made a failed attempt to unfurl the tricolor at the centre. The AP BJP leaders have been raising a demand to rename it and unfurl the national flag.

Amid the tense situation, the Jinnah Tower was reportedly painted in tricolur. The News Agency ANI said that the tower was painted and a flag was also hoisted near the tower. The pictures of Jinnah Tower are now going viral.

Jinnah Tower was in the news when the Hindu Vahini members were detained by the cops when they reached the spot to unfurl the Indian flag. After an argument with the cops, the activists were arrested by the cops. The activists asked why they were not supposed to unfurl the national flag in India.

The Andhra Pradesh wing of Bharatiya Janata Party asked why the Tower is named after Jinnah, the person behind Pakistan's creation, and raised a demand that it should be renamed after Kalam.
