"Indira Bhavan" is a house in Kolkata that Indira Gandhi once stayed in and was thus named after her. Later, it became Jyoti Basu's official residence right until his death. Now, the Mamata Banerjee government sought to rename it after the poet Kazi Nazrul Islam, which has sparked severe reactions from the Congress who saw in this act, a grave insult.
