On Friday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of ordering the demolition of 24 temples in Delhi between 2016 and 2023.
Poonawalla said that Kejriwal issued ‘fatwas’ to demolish the temples. “The documents that have come into the public domain through the media clearly show that there is no party more deceitful in this country and the world than the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Those who accuse others, what is their own history? From 2016 to 2023, documents with signatures show how the AAP chief minister and ministers issued fatwas to demolish nearly 24 structures,” he said.
Citing documents, Poonawalla said that from 2016 to 2023, AAP leaders had issued orders to demolish 24 temples in the national capital. Poonawala accused the Aam Aadmi Party of being the “biggest anti-Hindu party” in India and criticised its silence on the attacks on Sanatan Dharma by its alliance partners such as the DMK, TMC and the Congress.
Today, the biggest anti-Hindu party is the Aam Aadmi Party. They and their alliance partners, DMK, TMC, Left and Congress, always speak against Sanatan Dharma, however, AAP says nothing in response. And now they claim they will give compensation to the priests,” he said.
