Mr. Mamun told the BBC: "This temple has been donated by country and abroad for various donations. It's a sighted place. This is the way to stop it. They may stop their worship at certain times, but it is not right to indefinitely get banned. Many foreign friends will go to the Golden Temple, which means that the gold is going to the temple. It's also a loss for our country ".

In this context, Bach Mong says "the temple head will be reviewed with regard to entering their temple with permission".

Even if it is confirmed by the tourists or the administration that the sanctity and security of the temple can be made open in the future, then Mr. Mong
