Following the demolition, Telangana-based rights lawyer Rama Rao Immaneni moved a complaint before the National Monuments Authority. Acting on the complaint, the Union Ministry of Culture and the Archaeology Department have initiated proceedings.
Responding to AAP's claim on temple demolition, The LG Secretariat on Thursday called it a political game with communal overtones being played out and alleged that in 2023, Chief Minister Atishi and then CM Arvind Kejriwal recommended the demolition of nine temples in different parts of the city.
According to Atishi's letter, "when the file reached to L-G office from the office of Sisodia, he (Saxena) rejected the proposal and issued orders to demolish the temples and other religious sites".
The question has started a new row where protestors, mainly students, claim that the question is biased towards the Hindu-side in the dispute.
The Congress has been attacking the government over the rising inflation and Siddaramaiah said there was a "criminal loot". The phrase 'Criminal loot' was coined by late former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee over inflation against then Prime Minister Late Indira Gandhi over inflation at that point of time.
The opposition is determined to rake up the temple demolition issues in both the Houses as the ruling BJP is in a fix over the issue on the backdrop of the Supreme Court orders to clear religious structures built in public places.
