Lieutenant Governor (LG) V.K. Saxena on Friday dismissed the AAP's objection to 'Shivling-shaped' fountains installed in Delhi, saying they are just art pieces and there is God in "every particle of the country".
Sources in the ruling AAP claimed the party will file a police complaint over the fountains as they have hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus.
Reacting to this, Saxena said, "This is childish behaviour."
The LG along with Union Minister Meenakashi Lekhi unveiled three Yakshini statues at Ulan Batar in the Palam area here.
According to Hindu mythology, Yakshinis are demigoddesses who serve Lord Kubera, the God of wealth.
