SELANGOR Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo refuted an opposition allegation that the state government had demolished legally-built Hindu temples, the Tamil Nesan said.
At a talk organised by the Indian Progressive Front in Batang Berjuntai, Dr Khir said the state only acted against temples that were illegally built or not constructed according to specifications.
He said that he had given land with nominal premiums and also provided an allocation for the building or expansion of temples.
He urged the Indian voters of Ijok, especially those of the Hindu faith, not to be taken in by such allegations.
Dr Khir said that he appreciated the Indian community and would look into the welfare of every resident of the state, regardless of race or religion.
