BJP condemns demolition of Krishna temple in Kazakhstan

Dehradun, Nov. 23 (PTI): The BJP today condemned the demolition of a

Hindu temple in Kazakhstan and expressed surprise over government's

silence over the issue.

 

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has condemned the demolition of a

Krishna temple in Kazakhstan but the Prime Minister of India failed

to comment on it, BJP President Rajnath Singh told reporters here.

 

He sought immediate reaction from the Indian government and

suggested that it take up his matter with the government of

Kazakhstan to ensure reconstruction of the temple.

 

On Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit, the BJP President said

although Hu had not chosen November 20 as the date of his arrival to

India, the date in itself was "humiliating" as on this date in 1962

China had declared unilateral ceasefire.

 

However, he hoped the government will sort out contentious issues

with the Chinese government.

 

To a question, the BJP president ruled out any alliance in

Uttaranchal, asserting that his party was in a very comfortable

position in the hill state. Referring to Uttar Pradesh, the former

UP Chief Minister said his party will go to the polls with other NDA

partners.
