Delhi CM Atishi expressed concern over the Religious Committee’s order to demolish religious structures, including temples and Buddhist sites, which she says are vital to the Dalit community’s identity.

Refuting the Chief Minister's allegations, the Lieutenant Governor's office issued a statement saying that no religious structures or any temples, mosques, churches were being demolished.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Tuesday wrote to Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena against alleged demolition of Hindu temples and Buddhist places of worship revered by Dalit community.

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi Tuesday alleged that an order was issued by a panel on the "directions of Lt Governor VK Saxena" for demolition of multiple Hindu and Buddhist religious structures, a charge refuted by the LG office as "cheap politics".

The exchange comes a day after Saxena wrote to Atishi and expressed disappointment over Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal referring to her as a “temporary, makeshift CM”

Lt. Governor VK Saxena on Tuesday accused Chief Minister Atishi of playing politics after she wrote a letter to him, claiming that the Religious Committee ordered the demolition of numerous religious structures all across the national capital.
