By court order, the community must quickly vacate the premises on Leningradsky Prospekt, where until services are still being held.

" The destruction of the existing temple and depriving us of the opportunity to build a new temple will lead to the cessation of functioning of an official religious organization, significant losses, violation of the rights and interests of believers and the rights of citizens (religious community) to freedom of religion, which implies the administration of a religious cult , ”the text of the official letter says mayor of Moscow.

Representatives communities mention in the text that more than 50 thousand signatures of citizens have already been collected in defense of the Hindu temple.
