Now a new debate has started in Uttarakhand, this debate is to ban the entry of non -Hindus in Kedarnath Dham. Actually, the Chardham Yatra is starting in the state from April 30. In Gangotri Dham, Yamunotri Dham, Badrinath Dham and Kedarnath Dham, a large number of pilgrims arrive for darshan every year. In such a situation, a large number of non -Hindus also do business on the Chardham Yatra route. For which Kedarnath MLA Asha Nautiyal has demanded a ban on the entry of non -Hindus.
After the MLA's statement, a new debate has erupted in the state. Where the BJP is opposing serving meat, Mandira at religious places. On the other hand, many people are connecting it with the business of non -Hindus by making it a political issue. State Vice President of Congress Suryakant Dhasmana has described this statement as a public attention. He says that there are many burning issues on which the Center and BJP ruled states should respond, but it is not the only agenda of the Center and BJP ruled states to spread disaster among people in the name of caste and religion and politics should be done.
The state vice -president of the Congress accused the BJP of doing politics in the name of religion on this matter and called it the national agenda of the party. He says that the BJP government could not fulfill its promises made to the public, so the public is diverting such issues. The vice -president said that after the conspiracy to find hatred in the colors of Holi, a new issue of banning non -Hindus has now been launched in Kedarnath. He also said that there are many religious places in the country, whose role of people of Muslim community plays in getting the journey completed. In such a situation, it is not appropriate to ban non -Hindus.
At the same time, on this issue, Qazi Mohammad Ahmed Kasami, the city of Dehradun, says that if a law is talked about, it is fine, but if there is a different thing, then it should not happen. He said that those who make laws should see whether this attitude is correct or wrong. Qazi said that it is clear that the people of the Muslim community are being banned in the fair and all the places and they are not being allowed to join there.
So on the statement of the MLA, Maulana Shahabuddin Rajvi Barelvi said that Muslims do not go to religious places of non -Muslims like temples and monasteries, but nowadays the ban on the entry of Muslims is going on. He said that in the first Mahakumbh Mela, the ban on the shops of Muslims, then water on Muslims in Braj Holi in Mathura, and now the announcement of ban on Muslims in Kedarnath. Maulana said that such statements are promoting communal forces. He said that such MLAs and leaders should think that we should work to connect the society, not to break it.
BJP MLA Asha Nautiyal says that some non -Hindus serve meat, fish and alcohol to discredit Kedarnath Dham. In such a situation, they will be banned by identifying them. He said that in the past, in -charge minister Saurabh Bahuguna also held a meeting with all the people there, in which it was also suggested that non -Hindu Kedarnath works to defame Dham. In such a situation, they should be identified and they should be completely banned.
This demand of BJP MLA has also been supported by Mahamandaleshwar Swami Yatindranand Giri of Juna Arena. He says that not only Kedarnath Dham but all the dhams of Hindus, the entry of non -Hindus should be banned there.
