A blame-game has ensued with political parties accusing each of of their cadres participating in the protest.

The federal government leaders, who belong to the ruling coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) have blamed the opposition alliance Pakatan Rakyat that rules in the Selangor state.

On Monday, Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail said that those who protested against the relocation of 150-year-old Sri Maha Mariamman temple in Section 19 locality to Section 23 in Shah Alam, Selangor's capital, would be hauled to court.

In the statement, he had said that 'those who carried and spoke while stepping on the cow's head would be charged under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act alternatively Section 298 of the Penal Code'.

'They, as well as the other demonstrators, will also be facing another charge under Section 27(5) of the Police Act 1967 for illegal assembly.'

The government Monday found another location for the temple heeding the protests with a view to avoiding further controversy.
