‘Why allow a False Hindu God’s statue in Texas?’: Republican’s remark on Hanuman statue irks netizens

A 90-foot statue of Lord Hanuman, recently inaugurated at Sri Ashtalakshmi Temple in Texas, has become the centre of heated debate after Republican Senate candidate Alexander Duncan objected to its presence. Duncan posted a short video of the statue on social media.

The Republican Senate candidate wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Why are we allowing a false statue of a false Hindu God to be here in Texas? We are a Christian nation!”
