Do not change status of places of worship: Chidambaram

No attempt should be made to change the status of any place of worship as it would lead to huge conflict, former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said on Saturday with reference to the inspection of the Kashi Vishwanath temple-Gyanvapi mosque complex in Varanasi.

“We believe that all other places of worship should remain in the status they are and they were. We should not make an attempt to change the status of any place of worship, that will only lead to huge conflict,” stated Mr. Chidambaram.
