Reveal the truth behind temple demolition

DBKL and FT ministry are not on the same page in explaining the temple demolition.

KUALA LUMPUR: MIC Youth today took the Federal Territory ministry and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to task for false claims over a Hindu temple demolition at Jalan P Ramlee here on Sunday.

C Sivaraajh, the wing national secretary urged the minister Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and his special aid R Ramanan to be more careful when issuing statements on the demolition of the Sri Muniswarer Kaliyamman temple.

Daily they make contradicting statements. First they said it will not be demolished. Then they admitted that part of the temple was demolished. Later both claimed that DBKL is merely repairing the road in front of the temple.

In the latest development, Tengku Adnan said that the enforcement officers will only demolish a small portion of the canteen and an illegally erected restaurant within the temple vicinity. So, who is telling the truth? asked Sivaraajh during a press conference after meeting the temple committee.

It is a temple. There is no restaurant inside or outside the temple, he said.

Being a minister, Tengku Adnan, and Ramanan who oversees the Indians issues in the Federal Territories ministry should be more accurate on this matter, he added.

Their false statements may tarnish the Federal Territories ministry and BN reputation in the public eye.

On Sunday, DBKL demolished part of the 101 year old Hindu Temple; including the base of the statues of deities without prior notice or court order.

It was also reported that eleven people were arrested including MIC Youth chairman T Mohan, PKRs leader S Jayathas and the temple care taker R Nalini during the incident.
