BJP seeks probe into Pak official's visit to temple
Bharatiya Janata Party State unit president V. Muraleedharan has called upon the government to conduct a detailed inquiry into the motive behind the visit of an employee attached to the Pakistan High Commissioner's office to the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple recently.
Mr. Muraleedharan was addressing a press conference here on Friday.
He said the visit of a person who did not belong to the Hindu faith to the temple itself had evoked large-scale apprehensions among the devotees. The visit had raised pertinent questions regarding the security of the temple, he added.
It was also reported that the police too did not have any prior information regarding the visit of the Pak official. Even the government and the Home Department had not yet received any details regarding this, making a mockery of the loud claims of the government on the security arrangements at the temple.
The BJP leader said the Home Department should bring out the details and clear the apprehensions of devotees and should take earnest initiative to strengthen the security for the temple.
He said the Pak official's visit had already evoked nationwide apprehensions and, ironically, the State government was yet to respond to it for reasons best known to them. He said the government should take immediate steps to ensure adequate protection to all the places of worship, especially temples.
