After the controversy around Thailand destroying a statue of Lord Vishnu in a disputed border area went rife, the country issued a statement. Clarifying that the structure was not a registered religious site, Thailand asserted that the destruction was linked to security reasons.

Videos of the idol of Lord Vishnu being damaged by a backhoe loader by the Thai army went viral on social media. The Thai-Cambodian border press centre issued a statement on Thursday claiming, "The actions were not intended to involve religion, beliefs, or disrespect any sacred entities, but were solely for the purpose of area management and security, following the Thai side's regaining control of areas under Thailand's sovereignty."

According to a report by news agency AFP, Preah Vihear's spokesperson Lim Chanpanha said that the statue was located inside the Cambodian territory in the An Ses area. Chanpanha said the demolition of the Vishnu statue, built in 2014, took place on Monday, about 100 metres (328 feet) from the border with Thailand.

Cambodia alleged that the statue was a religious site worshipped by Buddhist and Hindu followers.

If it is built on illegal land, then Thailand is well within its rights to demolish it.

I hope these 2 nations resolve their issues amicably. They have so much in common to fight like bitter rivals. 👍
 
Who is India to call out something that happened in Thailand? :inti

Thailand can do as they please. It is their country. They don't need permission from India. :inti

Many Indians travel to Thailand for vacations and other services. If we begin boycotting Thailand, its economy will suffer, and they won't be able to repeat what certain people did to an Indian. A win-win for us. :inti

 
Religious sites should be respected even during warfare.

If it has been built illegally it can be removed respectfully and delicately.

Thailand is lucky that they don't play IPL otherwise their would have been major repurcussions and the full might of India would have been displayed.

But some of our Indian men regularly participate in Massage Premier Leagues in Thailand. They should boycott them. :inti

It wasn’t a site , it was a idol deity which was worshipped. They are upset for this reason but you are always at risk if you worship inanimate objects, eventually they break, wear away or can be destroyed. You can be a Hindu without having an idol .
 
When they see what a softie he is abroad, they will probably thrash him twice as hard as those trannies.

His family might forgive him for being a softie and getting beat up abroad.

His family might forgive him for being a cheapskate and running before paying.

His family might forgive him for taking escorts.

However, his family probably will never forgive him for doing it with a tranny. His kids (if he has any) gonna be bullied like anything in school now.
