This post of Ratna Lal followed outrage on social media and Delhi Police registered a case against him. Vineet Jindal, Supreme Court Lawyer has lodged a complaint based on hurting the Hindu sentiments.
According to the reports, he said, “The shivling doesn’t seem broken, it appears that it had been cut. That’s what I said. Moreover, when Muslims came to India and converted people of our country, tell me what’s the first thing that had perpetrated? Of course, ‘circumcision’, because in Islam the first thing they do is circumcision.”

He adds, “Other religious leaders are saying the same thing that shivling has been damaged. After all, it’s my opinion and I have studied history. I don’t think this is a democracy because you are not letting me post and say my views.” Further, he said, “There is no documentation of when the mosque was built. I think this is the agenda for the 2024 election. And, if you want more arguments, make a forum and contact a historian.”
