HIGHLIGHTS

• Katiyar is one of those who spearheadeded the Ayodhya Ram temple movement in the early 1990s
• He said the Mughals destroyed all Hindu places of worship including a temple that was where the Taj Mahal now stands
  
• Yesterday, UP CM Adityanath said the Taj mahal was built "by the blood and sweat of Indian labourers'

NEW DELHI: A day after the BJP's Adityanath said the Taj Mahal is decidedly Indian, his party colleague Vinay Katiyar said that the monument used to be a temple that was destroyed by the Mughals, reported ANI.

Katiyar, a Parliamentarian who spearheaded the Ayodhya Ram temple movement in the early 1990s, added that the Taj Mahal is built on the exact spot where there used to be a Shivaling. He also said the Mughals destroyed all Hindu places of worship.

"The Taj Mahal is a Hindu temple. There are all the signs there of (Hindu) gods and goddesses, There used to be a Shivaling there which had water dripping on it from up top. That ling was removed and a mausoleum built there," said the BJP MP.

The Taj Mahal controversy began earlier this week when an Uttar Pradesh (UP) legislator from the BJP said it didn't represent Indian culture as it was built by Mughals "who wanted to wipe out Hindus". The legislator, Sangeet Som, also called all the Mughal emperors "traitors".

He was then roundly berated by opposition parties for his comments.

Yesterday, UP chief minister Adityanath waded into the controversy and expressed views different to that of Som.

"It does not matter who built it (Taj Mahal) and for what reason; it was built by blood and sweat of Indian labourers," said Adityanath, in what party insiders said was a reprimand to Som.

Earlier this month, an Uttar Pradesh government booklet to promote tourist spots in the state omitted the Taj Mahal from its list of the State's historical sites.

Touching on that controversy, Som wondered why "people like the man who built the Taj Mahal" should be considered part of Indian culture and history.

"Many were sad when the Taj Mahal was removed from the list of historical places. What kind of history? What place's history? Whose history? The history that the man who built the Taj Mahal imprisoned his father? The history that he wanted to wipe out the Hindus from all of Uttar Pradesh and India?" asked Som.

In June this year, Adityanath had expressed views similar to Som's.

He said that "the Ramayana and the Gita represent Indian culture and the Taj Mahal doesn't."

Chanakya's Ideology at its best in Modi's India

It is part of shuddhi movement that started much before the partition. Every monument built by any Muslim whether religious or not has to be eventually removed. Every Muslim needs to become a hindu or leave the "secular" india.

 

[SherDil]

leave the "secular" india

This ain't a secular country. It's Hidutva state.

Burn or destroy ..Do what you like to do in your country...Internal matter

This ain't a secular country. It's Hidutva state.

They have always told the world that they are secular but I'm happy that with Modi in power that hypocrisy is slowly receding and letting their true ugly face to be seen. That's why, I wish Modi to continue for next two terms so that the process completes and this "amman ka tamasha" ends.

In no time, India will try to expel Muslims like what Burma is doing with Rohingas. This government is testing the water now.

They have already been trying for that. The latest was the massacre of Gujjarat in which more than 4000 Muslims were killed and as a reward for that massacre the people of secular india made Modi their PM.

So the plan is on the roll and they will keep upping the game. Now lynching has become a routine, it doesn't even make for a news anymore. Gao rakshak harass, kill Muslim families, steal their cattle with impunity rather with blessings of the state. That's their face and that's we should see....not the bollywood crap to fool the world.

They are trying to re-write history, they will probably succeed to convince their own feeble masses,,,heck their is no probably about it.Kudos bro

To be honest, Taj has become a symbol of India.

Let them destroy it, we should cheerlead them.

 

[Jackdaws]

Pakistani cheerleaders need to calm down. A random MLA or MP saying something doesn't amount to Government policy.

Saudi Arabia gave highest civilian award to Modi.
