Hindu Aikyavedi seeks action against diplomat

KOCHI: The Hindu Aikyavedi has demanded action against a Pakistani diplomat, who along with his wife, visited the Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple on Thursday.Hindu Aikyavedi general secretary Kummanam Rajashekaran said that in the wake of the current importance of the temple, the visit of the Pakistani official should be taken seriously.The visa laws in the country prohibit any diplomat from visiting temples and important places without the permission of the District Collector.Here Pakistani diplomat Abeed Sayed and his wife did not inform or seek permission to visit the temple, he said.Kummanan said the visit raises security questions and shows the negligence of the government in this regard.Even after the police came to know about the visit of the diplomat and family, they didn’t make any move to take him into custody for questioning, Kummanam said.
