Ministry of Culture, @MinOfCultureGoI headed by
Shri G Kishan Reddy @kishanreddybjp ?

1 There is a mosque at Taj, which if planned & built by Shah Jehan, would have faced the Kabba!
The technology to ascertain the direction of the Kabba existed during the period of Shah Jahan. For a Islamist, getting the orientation correct would be a basic need.

3 days ago, around 11:30 am, I was verbally abused in the metro by these two perverts in the picture below. I don't know what provoked them. I informed the metro officials but nothing has happened till now. (1/n) 
I boarded the metro at Vaishali and was talking to a friend about the #TajMahalControversy over call when the guy in the blue tshirt comes and stand real close to me. I politely asked him to step aside as he was making me feel uncomfortable. (2/n)
Unexpectedly, he started abusing me and called me "chutiya" and "atankwadi". I was totally taken aback, his behaviour triggered my anxiety condition. I managed to call him a jerk and asked him to back off. (3/n)

BREAKING: Jagadguru Paramhans Acharya moves Allahabad High Court after denial of entry to #Tajmahal.
The Acharya and his pupil were denied entry to the monument twice owing to their Dharmdand and Bhagwa Vastra.
The Acharya and his pupil were denied entry to the monument twice owing to their Dharmdand and Bhagwa Vastra.
The Jagadguru has argued that in the Hindu religion Jagatguru has the authority to take Dharmdand and wear Bhagwa Vastra and they are allowed 'to go anywhere in India' without any permission and they also can travel by any mode of transport.
His petition states, "Now petitioners have doubt that there is some mystery in the #Tajmahal and they have suspicion that there were some ancient Hindu temples (there)...Therefore, the matter needs proper investigation."
