Local Hindus claim that it is not just a place of worship, but a center of religious, cultural and social activities. Various festivals and events have been held here for many years. The temple authorities alleged that the council decided to sell the land without consulting them. Not only that, it is also alleged that they were not given any alternative place. Temple authorities claim that the land has been sold to a Muslim organisation. A mosque will be built there. After that they approached a British High Court.

The entire process of land sale is transparent and legal. After hearing arguments from both sides, the judge issued an interim stay on the sale process.
