The Vishva Hindu Parishad has submitted a petition opposing the construction of a new church in Coimbatore’s Sungam Agasthiyan Pettai neighborhood, citing encroachments on public spaces and highlighting the selective demolition of old Hindu temples.
Coimbatore: Today, representatives from the Vishva Hindu Parishad delivered a petition to the office of the Coimbatore District Collector, urging immediate intervention to halt the construction of a church in Sungam Agasthiyan Pettai. The petition highlights a perceived bias in local governance, with accusations of selective demolition of heritage Hindu temples across Tamil Nadu while allegedly allowing minority community religious structures to be built on public lands without similar scrutiny.
The Vishva Hindu Parishad is vehemently opposing the church's construction, citing concerns over potential communal splits and urging district authorities to ensure no religious conflicts arise in the future. The organization demands equal treatment in the enforcement of building and land use laws to maintain communal harmony and respect for all religious groups.
