The East Godavari police in Andhra Pradesh have refuted the false information being propagated by several BJP leaders that a pastor had “illegally occupied” a Rama temple and conducted a Christian prayer meeting there. Several BJP leaders had shared a video of a prayer gathering at K Gangavaram village of Pamarru mandal in East Godavari district, which appears to be taking place adjacent to a Rama temple, which is locked. The video was shared with claims that the temple was illegally occupied, calling for the “culprits” to be arrested and complaining that the deity Ram had been “insulted” in Andhra Pradesh.

Refuting the news as false, East Godavari Superintendent of Police M Ravindranath Babu clarified that a family dispute between the woman who organised the prayer meeting and her son had been blown up and falsely distorted into a communal issue. A statement from East Godavari police, which was also posted on Twitter, said that a woman named Kada Mangayamma had been conducting Christian prayer meetings on the road situated in front of her house, which is located next to the Rama temple.

Poojas are being offered at the temple daily, and there are no disputes between local Hindus and Christians, police said, adding that there are cordial relations between the two communities in the village. As the prayers were being conducted on Wednesday, March 30, Mangayamma’s elder son Srinivas, who lives in Kakinada, showed up and began arguing with his mother, saying she was spending huge amounts of money over the prayer meetings, police said.
