In a letter to Gowda, the CM sought action as the matter was pending for long. He reiterated the need to name a train as Namdhari Azadi Sangram Express and said, "The centre has already recognised the Kuka Movement as a part of India's freedom struggle and held year-long celebrations in 2007 to mark the movement's 150th year."
