The controversy is being aggravated by Hindu organisations who are questioning the prayer. As per Hindu Mahasabha, Lucknow’s Lulu Mall has often been a part of various controversies.
Speaking upon the matter, Hindu Mahasabha leader Shishir Chaturverdi said, "Lulu Mall is now showing its true colors. This mall has already been in the news for similar exploits. Now doing the same in UP too”.
