Following the demolition of Hanuman temple at Chandni Chowk, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-ruled Municipal Corporation’s Delhi (MCD) Deputy Commissioner Satnam Singh had filed an affidavit in the court saying that the temple could not be demolished due to festivals, but now the preparations have been done.
Bhardwaj also questioned this organisation and asked for its detailed investigation in the Hanuman Mandir demolition.
“He also gave the court the date of demolishing the temple. The BJP Delhi State President Adesh Gupta should clarify whether the affidavit filed in the court is his or not,” said Saurabh Bhardawaj, the spokesperson of AAP.
“At the same time, an organisation called Manushi Sangathan also demanded the High Court to demolish the ancient Hanuman temple. Sanjay Bhargava, who is the head of this organisation is close to MP Vijay Goel and other volunteers of the BJP,” said Bhardawaj.
He said the BJP's enmity is with AAP, the party which is doing politics in the name of Lord Ram, should not take it out on Lord Hanuman or it will offend Lord Rama.
“The BJP does not have the required police force for small demolitions, but they deploy thousands of police personnel at night to demolish a temple,” he said.
He further said, “There is an organisation called Manushi which has been repeatedly filing a writ in court to demolish this temple. When their first attempt to demolish the temple was failed, they again went to the court to carry out the demolition.”
