Central Govt should hand over Taj Mahal and Qutub Minar to Hindus, Congress leader Pramod Krishnan demands

New Delhi – ‘The Qutub Minar and the Taj Mahal are currently under the jurisdiction of the Government of India. Therefore, the Government should hand them over to Hindus’, Congress leader Pramod Krishnan demanded. He said that he stands with the nation. Hindu organisations are demanding that the Qutub Minar be declared a ‘Vishnu Stambh’ and the Taj Mahal a ‘Tejo Mahal’. Last week, a petition was filed to open 22 rooms in the Taj Mahal.

Referring to Gyanvapi, Pramod Krishnan said, ‘The Gyanvapi issue is linked with faith and Indian sentiment. It is pending in Court; but why has Shivalinga been hidden till now and who kept it hidden ? There is no need for proof, but whatever the order of the judiciary, everyone has to obey’.

Editorial viewpoint

Why hasn’t Congress done it in its decades of rule and why did Krishnan not demand it then ?
