BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla on Thursday visited Lord Ram’s Son Lav’s Samadhi in Lahore. He offered prayers at the Samadhi. He shared pictures on X (formerly Twitter). He was accompanied by Pakistan’s Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi.
The BCCI Vice-President wrote on X, “It is recorded in the municipal records of Lahore that this city was named after Lord Ram’s son Lav and Kasur city was named after his other son Kush. The Government of Pakistan also accepts this fact.”
He further said, “There is an ancient tomb of Lord Ram’s son Lav in the ancient fort of Lahore. Lahore is named after him. I got the opportunity to pray there. I was also accompanied by Pakistan’s Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi who is getting this Samadhi renovated. Mohsin had started this work when he was the Chief Minister.”
He was in Lahore at the invitation of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Pakistan is the host of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. India will play against New Zealand in the finals on March 9 at Dubai International Stadium.
