Politicians shouldn't decide temple committees: VHP leader
NAGPUR: July 9 Vishwa Hindu Parishad national vice president Ashok Chowgule stated on Wednesday that politicians should not be involved in determining who becomes members of temple management committees.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a book launch—Moropant Pingley: The Architect of Hindu Resurgence, released by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat—Chowgule emphasised that if a political figure is included in a temple committee, they should be a practising Hindu and participate as a devotee, not as a political representative.
Addressing the issue of construction on allegedly encroached temple lands in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Chowgule said, "Temple committees must be formed by practising Hindu devotees, not appointed or influenced by political parties.
