Print Let Ivan celebrate Diwali in church, not temple: Hindu groups
MANGALURU: Hindu organisation opposed a move by Ivan D’Souza, chief whip of the Congress in the state legislative assembly, from organising the Bhavaikyata Diwali in Shree Kshetra Kadri on October 29. .
Their objection is over Ivan’s religion and the organisations feel that Ivan’s entry in the temple will defile its sanctity. They contend that Hindu religious places should be limited to Hindus only. They, however, have no qualms about B Ramanath Rai, district in-charge minister, organising a similar event at the temple.
It is also their contention that no non-Hindu can organise any religious programme in a Hindu temple managed by the endowment department.
They feel organising such a programme will undermine the religious sanctity and traditions of the temple. Laying down this diktat, M B Puranik, regional working president of VHP, Karnataka said since the Kadri Sri Manjunatha Temple comes under the endowment department, there is also no scope for any such politically motivated programme.
"VHP and all Hindu organisations strongly condemn this move and have urged the district administration, police and endowment department to stop it. If he is so particular, let Ivan celebrate Diwali in a church or a mosque," Puranik said.
Demanding that the administration investigate the matter, Puranik demanded action against officials who permitted the programme. Noting that cancelling the event is the only way to ensure justice to Hindus, Puranik said all Hindu organisations will support the agitation by VHP in this regard. When journalists asked him for the reason for opposing the event, Puranik failed to come up with one. Incidentally, the VHP and Bajrang Dal earlier in the day submitted a memorandum to deputy commissioner K G Jagadeesha outlining their opposition to the alleged misuse of Hindu religious institutions.
