Sri Veerabhadra Channamalla Swamiji of Nidumamidi Math has stirred a debate by expressing his views on the Babri Masjid demolition. Speaking to the media in Chikkaballapur district's Bagepally, the revered spiritual leader acknowledged the historical context, noting that 500 years ago, Babur demolished the temple of Vishnu or Rama to construct a mosque.

He emphasized that the sentiment of rebuilding the temple at the same location was understandable, but he underscored that it was the ruling class leaders, not the common people or religious leaders, who were responsible for the temple's demolition. He highlighted that the common Muslim population was not involved in the decision-making process.
