New Delhi – Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena clarified fountains created for the G20 Summit to be held on 9th and 10th September in Delhi, saying they were not Shivalinga but simply Modern Art. Beautification for the G20 Summit has been undertaken by the Municipal Council in Delhi by creating fountains on the roadside of the Hanuman Chowk in Dhaula Kuan appear like Shivalinga. The BJP leader Charu Pragya was the first one who said that the AAP Government had created fountains in the shape of Shivalinga. In response, AAP said it was the work of the BJP.

Editorial perspective

Such an art form like Shivalinga was incorrect; because it hurts Hindus’ sentiments; hence, the Government should take very stringent action against those responsible.
