UP Minister Ompal Nehra sacked for his appeal to Muslims to join temple building
The minister made the comment on Thursday evening at a function in Bijnore and he was sacked by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Fridaymorning..
Nehra had said: "Where can a Ram temple be built if not at Ayodhya? Muslims should help in building a Ram temple in Ayodhya and a Krishna temple in Mathura and give up their claim on mosques there. In fact I would say that Muslims should join Kar Seva (volunteer) for the Ram temple."
His comment came at a time when Vishwa Hindu Parishad supporters were gathering truckloads of stones for a temple at the disputed site of Ayodhya, triggering tension.
