In an attempt to control the damage caused to the BJP by MLA Sangeet Som’s hate speech, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said the Taj Mahal was built by blood and sweat of Indian labourers.
Som had on Sunday described the iconic monument as “a blot on Indian culture”.
“It does not matter who built the Taj Mahal and for what reason. It was built by blood and sweat of Indian labourers,” said Adityanath, who will visit Agra on October 25 and take a tour to Taj Mahal and other monuments in the city.
Adding that the Taj Mahal is important, Adityanath focused on the tourism perspective of the monument and said “it is our priority to provide facilities and safety to tourists there.”
