SP, Congress 'allowed namaz' at Hanumangarhi temple, should apologise for 'sin': Yogi Adityanath

Ayodhya/Basti: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday accused the Samajwadi Party and the Congress of disrespecting Hindu faith, alleging they had earlier allowed namaz to be offered at the Hanumangarhi temple in Ayodhya and demanded that they apologise for the "sin".

Addressing a public meeting in Bikapur in Ayodhya after inaugurating and laying the foundation stone of 217 development projects worth over Rs 432 crore, Adityanath said those who now claim to speak for faith had committed a "sin" by allowing namaz to be offered on the steps of Hanumangarhi.
