Cops deny preventing Hindu religious activities from being held FMTNews
District police chief Yahaya Hassan said the temple committee had agreed to the request to postpone the religious activities this weekend.
District police chief Yahaya Hassan said the content of the message, which went viral on the WhatsApp application, was defamatory and malicious with the aim of undermining the police’s credibility. “In this matter, we only gave advice and asked for cooperation from the temple to postpone the chariot and kavadi parade on April 21 to 23 as it clashes with the Hari Raya celebration,” he said in a statement today.
However, he said police had no problem with religious activities in the temple area, adding that the matter had already been explained to the organiser.
