A BJP MLA yesterday demanded that the central government acquire Pakistan founder Mohammad Ali Jinnah's house in Mumbai under the amended Enemy Property Act. Mangal Prabhat Lodha, the BJP MLA from the Malabar Hill constituency within whose limits Jinnah House falls, called it a "symbol of conspiracy behind the Partition". In a statement today, Lodha said, "Jinnah House is the symbol of conspiracy behind the Partition and hence it should be converted into a cultural centre. The Union government should start process to establish the 'South Asia Centre for Arts and Culture' there."
