Vijayawada: Demolition of Peerla Panja, which is considered as a holy structure, sparked protests here on Sunday. Local residents and the YSRCP activists at Wynchpet protested against the demolition of the structure. Supporters of a local Telugu Desam leader Saleem demolished the dome and structure of the Panja and tried to convert the site into a mutton shop.

Muslims built a small dargah a few years ago in 30 square yards and used to offer prayers during Moharram Problem began on Sunday early morning when some unidentified persons belonging to a TDP leader demolished the small structure and removed the flags and other material. Some local Muslims consider it as a holy place and worship during Moharram.
It is learnt that the local Telugu Desam leader Saleem procured a document to encroach the land. He claimed that he had purchased the site.

He said the accused had produced fake documents claiming that he had purchased the site. He said the site belongs to the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation.
