Kuala Lumpur, Sep 2 - Malaysian Home Minister Hishamuddin Tun Hussein Wednesday brought together various parties to resolve a dispute over relocation of a Hindu shrine that had led to some protesters displaying a severed cow head.

The residents' committee of the Section 23 locality in Shah Alam, capital of Selangor state where the incident occurred, will meet the Malaysian Hindu Sangam Council Friday to resolve the issue.

The 150-year-old temple was earlier located in Section 10.

They are also expected to issue a joint statement to 'clear the air' about the use of a cow's head in last Friday's protest by the committee against the relocation of the temple, Hussein told the media.

He said after meeting the committee members that he was 'convinced' there was no political motive on the part of the protesters, the Star Online reported.

The protesters had stamped and spat on a cow's head during the demonstration Saturday.
