Delhi minister and senior AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj on Saturday alleged that a "sin" has been committed by installing 'shivlings' as fountains in a public space, and Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena should apologise to the nation for the act.
The LG, however, countered the charge, saying, "I see it as a piece of art. I cannot comment on the opinion of others." Mr. Bharadwaj levelled the allegation during an interaction with media after inspection of work being done to beautify roads for the G20 Summit next week.
Asked about the shivling fountains row, he said, “A sin has been committed by installing shivlings as fountains in a public place.”
