It may be recalled that in the month of March, British deputy high commissioner Andrew Fleming has tweeted the picture of the monument which has become a dump yard.

He had also written, “In Balapur I spotted a building @googlemaps describes as a historic monument named Maqbaras. @NayonikaRoy & I went odf road for a closer look and were dismayed to find this historic site doubles as a rubbish tip. Not a happy site is it @tstourism?”.

Reacting on the tweet, Mr. Asaduddin Owaisi, President of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) had tweeted, “@Andrew007Uk Pl remember you’re not Queen’s Governor General, but a diplomat. Request @SushmaSwaraj to take note, he cannot tell us how to manage our affairs anymore Having lived in UK, I know it’s not exactly a utopia. Maybe focus on preventing more Greenfells from happening?”.
