The bigoted officials of Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation and Tourist department of Andhra Pradesh have left no stones unturned to wipe out Muslim identity from the city’s historical monuments. Recently answering a question posed by M Q Masood under Right To Information act, the archaeological department clearly declared the temple abutting Charminar as illegal and citing photographs of Charminar, proved that there was no temple till 1960-70.
But the Congress government which claims itself to be secular has published a computerized picture of historical Charminar on the front page of the beautiful and expensive catalogue published by Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation, in which the temple has been shown along with the Charminar structure. Charminar picture appears 7 times in the catalogue published with the title ‘Facets of a fascinating city’ along with more than 200 photos of historical monuments across the city, but each time the picture of Charminar is deliberately shown with temple attached to it.
If the temple is illegal then including the illegal temple in the government catalogue is nothing but communalism and bigotry.
