BJP will rebuild all temples, demolished to construct mosques: Sangeet Som
Meerut(PTI): The BJP will rebuild all temples which were demolished to construct mosques, the party's Uttar Pradesh MLA from Sardhana assembly seat in Meerut, Sangeet Som, asserted on Tuesday.
Som made the assertion while dubbing former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav a seasonal Hindu .
People who caned seers during their regime are now visiting Haridwar to tender apologies to them and have ended up proclaiming to build Lord Vishvakarma temple, he said, taking a dig at the previous Samajwadi Party government.
Som was addressing a news conference, convened to detail the achievements of the Yogi Adityanath government in the last four and half years.
Mocking Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, he said, Ahead of the upcoming UP assembly elections, many people become seasonal Hindus. The people who ordered firing at devotees are now talking of building temples, he said.
Those who caned seers are now tendering apologies to them with folded hands, he added.
A temple will be rebuilt wherever mosques have been constructed after demolishing them, he said.
Hindustan belongs to Hindus. Every man is a Hindu here. Even the Muslims are Hindus, he claimed.
Prone to make controversial statements, Som, also an accused in the 2013 Muzaffarnagar communal riots case, claimed that BJP will form government once again in Uttar Pradesh by winning at least 350 seats in the upcoming state assembly elections.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
