Mangaluru: “BJP showed their true colours with the demolition of religious places in the state,” said District Congress president Harish Kumar on Wednesday September 15.
Speaking to media, Harish Kumar said that BJP formed government with the votes of Hindus and have taken contract of Hindutva. “Now they have shown their true colours with the demolition of temples. It is said that notice has been served to the Mysuru district administration over removal of unauthorized religious structure.”
He said that there is government’s hand in this removal and that no deputy commissioner and Tahsildar has courage to demolish religious temples without the hand of the government. He termed the incident to be a politically sponsored move.
Harish Kumar said, “the government has received criticism from Hindu groups and their own leaders. Hindu groups have called for protest. Is this a drama to protest against their own government? People are tired of the drama and will not encourage them further. Chief minister Basavaraj Bommai said not to hurry in demolition of temples. Does it mean that they should make some delay and demolish them?”
He stated that Bommai should have apologised for the move and urged the government to identify places and reconstruct the temples which have been demolished.
