Demanding the suspension of officials who were responsible for the demolition of Hindu temples by allegedly misinterpreting the court orders, activists of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal staged a protest in Virajpet on Friday.

Gathering in front of the Mini Vidhana Soudha, Bajrang Dal Dakshina Prantha co-convener Muralikrishna said that the demolition of the ancient temples has hurt the sentiments of people.

The temple which was demolished in Nanjangud should be rebuilt. Or else, the temple will be constructed by the Hindu community, he said.
