Andhra Pradesh Revolutionary Writers Association has declared the controversial structure of Bhagyalakshmi temple abutting historical Charminar as absolutely illegal and said that when the historical Charminar was being handed over to Archaeological Survey of India there was neither a temple nor any structure. Later colour was spread over a stone and puja began; neither police nor ASI took action against the perpetrators until the construction of structure of Bhagyalakshmi temple.
The association urged the chief minister to remove the controversial structure immediately and prove his secular candidature otherwise the controversy will continue to disrupt Ganges-Yamuna culture of the city and it will become law and order issue. Speaking to press persons leaders of Revolutionary Writers Association, Messrs Warawara Rao, Geetanjali, E Ramesh, Satish Chandra told this and maintained that Charminar is a heritage structure and it should not be neglected. The monument should not be perceived on the basis of religion nor should a political issue be created regarding the historical monument.
They asked the state government to take strict action against the parties like BJP, Sangh Pariwar, Majlis and Shiv Sena who are making provocative speeches for their political gains. They told that some political leaders will continue prolonging the temple issue keeping in view the next election.
Leaders of the association regretted that while the Kasab was hanged who was responsible for the death of only a few people, no action is being taken against Narendra Modi who was responsible for the massacre of thousands of people. It is being tried to project such person as prime ministerial candidate which needs to be strongly condemned from all corners.
