From the happenings in Jammu-Kashmir, it has been proved repeatedly that the fear of destruction of Hindus and Hindu places of worship by jihadi terrorists still exists there. Therefore, instead of spending money in protecting this temple, the Central Government should create the safe environment for the Hindus and their places of worship by eradicating the jihadi terrorism in Jammu-Kashmir completely.
