Russia's Vedic Cultural Centre housing the country's largest Hindu
temple is facing demolition in St Petersburg, the hometown of
president-elect Vladimir Putin, as a court has ordered its 'eviction'
from the leased premises.
"Following an arbitration court decision on Thursday, the biggest Hindu temple of Russia will now be demolished," chairman of the Centre Suren Karapetyan said, appealing to presidents of India and Russia to provide "urgent help" .
"We are expecting some kind of intervention from the Indian government as we are preserving the Indian culture and traditions in Russia. We appeal to Russian president Dmitry Medvedev to help us in our cause and save the cultural centre," he said.
"We are not getting justice and we are being illegally thrown out, we had a lease agreement of 49 years." The lease deal was signed in 1992 with the state-run federal research institute, now converted into JSC 'GosNIIkhimanalit' Joint Stock Company.
