Devout Hindus warn Govt. against proposed anti-Hindu Bills!

Hindus in the HJS’ rally

Rajapur: The State Government is trying to enact anti-Hindu ‘Black Magic’ Act and ‘Temple Take-over’ Act. Recently a huge march was taken out to protest against this move of the State Govt. The aggrieved devout Hindus warned the Govt. that it should not dare to take such step. In this march, 1500 participants joined from taluqa level.

It is likely that the two anti-Hindu Acts could be presented for adoption in the current session of the Legislative Assembly. These Acts would be violation of religious freedom of Hindus. Therefore, to oppose these Bills, many Hindu organizations like HJS, trustees of various temples, Warkari Sampradaya, H. H. Kalavatiaai Sampradaya, Shree Sampradaya, Sanatan Sanstha, different religious institutions, Hindu organizations and parties have come together to stage this agitation. As a part of this agitation, the march was organized.

Shri. Babanrao Thakur, President of Sree Nateshwar temple in the taluqa said that devotees make offerings in temples; but the greedy Government’s has an eye on the temple funds. Under the present Act in existence from 1951, temples are being efficiently managed by the Charitable Commissioner.

Shri. Rajan Salvi, the ex-district chief of Shiv Sena said that although 90 % of the MLAs are Hindus, still the Government is trying to pass such Acts. Devout Hindus should take their elected representatives to task. Shri. Sanjay Joshi, the district spokesperson of HJS said that it is a cruel mockery of Hindus feelings by the Government. If the Bill is passed, it will be an open field for the politicians to grab funds collected in temples. Donations offered by Hindus will be spent on welfare of Muslims and Christians. The Government can even construct mosques and churches in place of temples. If temples are taken over by the Govt., we will have to beg to the Govt. for funds to celebrate our festivals.
