Sinha also tagged the Prime Minister's Office and the Chief Minister's Ofꦓfice inℱ her tweet.
The district administr🐭ation has been asked to conduct an inquiry, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Bhupendra Singh said. “The Madhya Pradesh government is sensitive about the needs of people with disabilities,” he wrote on Twitter. “You are the pride of India and you are welcome in Ujjain, the city of the Lord Mahakal.”
Temple sources said the sports person was stopped twice by security personnel while trying to enter the sanctum sanctorum of the te💝mple and that she broke down while arguing wi♊th them.
Mahakal Temple's administrator Avdhesh 𝕴Sharma said that he came to know about the inciden🙈t only through media reports.
"I have come to know about this from med♏ia reports. Arunima has not filed any complaint with the police or the 𓆉temple administration," he said.
"There is a r꧙amp for the disabled and I will ask the security personnel why they stopped her. We are ꧑also checking the CCTV footage to identify the guilty," the temple administrator added.
Sinha was pushed out of a running train in April, 2011, while resisౠting a robbery attempt. As a result, one of her legs had to be amputated below the knee.
