The PMO has forwarded the letter to the Lok Sabha Secretariat seeking appropriate action. In his letter, Patil said a Basaveshwara Statue was located at Gate Number 9 of the Parliament House, which was a no-entry zone for visitors.

Since Basaveshwara holds a prominent place among the Lingayat community, he said the installation would allow the community to visit the Statue if it was installed in the new building.
