This was a conspiracy."The temple committee had filed a police complaint saying that some 'anti-social elements' entered the Khereshwar Mahadev temple and destroyed the foundation stone of the water cooler that had been donated by Samajwadi Party leader Salman Shahid.The temple committee head, Satyapal Singh, had demanded a probe into the matter.Meanwhile, BJP MP Satish Gautam said that having a Muslim leader's name inside the temple was an attempt to "hurt the sentiments of the Hindu community" and was being done with an eye on elections, next year."How would they feel if my name is mentioned in a similar way inside a mosque?" he asked.The SP leader had donated the water cooler to Khereshwar Mahadev temple in Aligarh's Lodha area on June 28 after discussing it with the temple committee.Satyapal Singh said, "We did not find any problem in installing the foundation stone inside the temple with his name. Unfortunately, after this incident, we had to apologize to him and return the water cooler to maintain a peaceful atmosphere in the town."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
