Ganesh Idols not to be removed from Qutub Minar complex, to maintain status quo
cancel

New Delhi: A Delhi court urged the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) not to retrieve two Ganesha idols from the Qutub Minar complex until the next hearing.

The court's direction came on a petition filed by principal deity Lord Rishabh Dev urging the court to restrain the ASI from removing the idol as directed by The National Monuments Authority (NMA).

The NMA is reported to have asked the ASI to remove the idols from the Qutub Minar complex for the Authority's chairman felt the placement of the idols is disrespectful to the complex and asked to move them to the National Museum.

Additional District Judge Nikhil Chopra at the Saket court is reported to have found the rationale for the appellant's plea and urged the ASI to maintain the status quo by not removing the idols.

Meanwhile, the ASI made it clear that it has no plan to remove the idols from their present place and ruled out the possibility of the removal in the near future, as per a report published in The Indian Express.

The suit stated that it is a matter of national shame that Lord Ganapati, who is worshipped by crores of Hindus, was lying within the property in the suit in a "very pitiable condition hurting the sentiments of crores of devotees of Lord Ganesh."
