Days after a row broke out over two Ganesha idols at the Qutub Minar complex, former Rajya Sabha MP Tarun Vijay on Wednesday claimed to have ‘discovered’ a sculpture of a cow feeding its calf for the first time.
The motif is often associated with the Hindu religion, which considers the cow sacred.
Vijay claimed that an official of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) confirmed that nobody had seen the sculpture before.
