Demand

• The remains of Prithviraj Chauhan should be brought back to Neemrana from his samadhi in Afghanistan.
  
• The state Government should convert the fort into a museum in the memory of the last Hindu king of Delhi.
  
• The owners of the hotel owe a responsibility to the ranis of the late ruler Rajendra Singh living in penury.

Response

• No diplomatic ties with Afghanistan, so chances of the remains being returned are remote.
  
• The Government isn't above the law and cannot acquire private property arbitrarily.
  
• The ranis have good relations with the owners, who owe them no legal obligation.
