People have raised questions against the mall administration asking as to how can anyone allow religious activities in a mall.
According to Hindu Mahasabha, malls associated to the LuLu Group elsewhere too have been in such controversies in the past as well.
“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,” a Zee News report quoted Hindu Mahasabha leader Shishir Chaturvedi as saying.
He said the Hindu Mahasabha has demanded action on every mall which is being used as a mosque, the report added.
The issue has invited hordes of comments and the hashtag #LuluMallLucknow is trending on Twitter.
People are sharing memes, asking Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath whether he has inaugurated a mall or a mosque?

We do not allow this at all inside the mall, the administration added.
