The AAP on Thursday accused Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena and the BJP of disrespecting the ‘Shivling’ by installing fountains shaped like it in the capital ahead of the G20 summit. Taking to X, AAP Rajya Sabha MP and national spokesperson Sanjay Singh demanded that the BJP apologise to the country and action be taken against Saxena. There was no immediate reaction from the LG’s office or the BJP to the AAP’s allegations.
As Delhi gears up to host the G20 summit from September 9 to 10, arterial stretches in the capital have been given a makeover. As part of the beautification drive, 18 fountains shaped like the ‘Shivling’ have been installed at the Hanuman Mandir junction in the Palam airport’s technical area, according to officials.
