Lucknow Name Change: Uorfi Javed Issues Her Opinion On Rumours Of City’s Title Change; Says ‘I Want To Stay In A Democratic Rashtra’
Uorfi Javed emerged as a conventional fashionista who is a pro at grabbing social media users’ attention with her quirky outfits. However, there seems to be a sudden shift in her approach towards engaging the audience after she was slapped with an FIR for "indulging in nudity publicly". Hailing from a Muslim household, Uorfi has often been poked with harsh remarks about the choice of her outfits on the basis of her religious identity. But, she has decided to hit back at the trolls and speak up about the comments she has faced so far. ALSO READ | SHOCKING!

The Bigg Boss OTT contestant has questioned the benefits of changing the names of places and said that the hopes to live in a democratic nation, not a Hindi or Muslim state. Soon, she also clarified that she does not follow Islam or any other religion. 

On Thursday afternoon, Uorfi shared a news article dated May 2022 and speculated that a change in the name the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow. She shared a screenshot of the 2022 news article and wrote, “Faida batao koi Iska (Tell me about the benefits of doing this)? I want to stay In a democratic rashtra ! Neither Hindu rashtra (Hindu nation) nor muslim rashtra (Muslim nation).”


The news article detailed the Twitter reactions to a post by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath Yogi. The CM had welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the city with a tweet which read: "Sheshavatar Bhagwan Laxman ki pawan nagri Lucknow mein aapka swagat aur abhinandan (Welcome to the city of Lord Laxman)."

Lucknow’s name change issue resurfaced earlier this week after UP deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak talked about it and said that it is “well known that Lucknow's name earlier was Laxman Nagri,” reported Hindustan Times. 


He added that the government may accordingly work on it.

Coming back to Uorfi’s tweet, she followed it with a disclaimer and wrote: “Before the Hindu extremists start attacking me let me tell y’all , I do not follow Islam or any religion as a matter of fact . I just don’t want people to fight because of their religion.”

In January 2023, Uorfi was involved in a much-talked-about social media discussion with Kangana Ranaut who responded to Uorfi’s "art should not be divided by religion" statement.
