New Delhi: The Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Wednesday attacked the BJP for ordering the demolition of several temples in the national capital and said the party’s dual face was revealed through such orders.
Speaking with the media Atishi accused BJP of pretending to protect Hinduism while secretly instructing officials and the LG to destroy temples.
She stated that the party has recently decided to demolish several temples located in the West Patel Nagar, Dilshad Garden, Seemapuri, Gokalpuri, New Usmanpur, and Sultanpuri, as well as a Buddhist temple in Sundar Nagari during a meeting of the Religious Committee on November 22.
Atishi further said that Delhi LG has approved it and now DMs and SDMs are preparing to demolish these temples.
“The Religious Committee used to come under the Home Minister of the Delhi government. Till last year, all the decisions of this committee were first placed before the Home Minister and any action was taken only after his approval. But last year Delhi LG ordered that the demolition of any religious place is a law and order issue and hence it comes under Delhi LG and hence Delhi CM or Home Minister has nothing to do with it. Now the Religious Committee is directly under Delhi LG. The Chairman of the committee is the Principal Secretary of the Home Department and he sends the committee’s suggestions directly to Delhi LG for approval,” she added.
