๐ฉHindu Organizations Unite Over Shri Kali Mata Temple Dispute, Warn Administration
Patiala, May 21 – Newsline Express โ A joint emergency meeting of senior leaders of Shiv Sena Hindustan and its religious wing Shri Ram Hanuman Seva Dal was held at the residence of national president Pawan Gupta in Patiala. The meeting was chaired by Pawan Gupta himself.
Several senior leaders and office-bearers of the organizations participated in the meeting. During the discussion, members deliberated in detail over the ongoing controversy related to the renovation and beautification work being carried out at Shri Kali Mata Temple.
Leaders alleged that certain decisions were being taken by the temple management committee in an arbitrary manner while ignoring the traditions and sentiments associated with Sanatan Dharma. They further claimed that several religious and social service organizations associated with temple activities were being threatened, and that some representatives had even been called to police stations, leading to resentment among members of the Hindu community.
During the meeting, it was also stated that several Hindu organizations had approached Shiv Sena Hindustan to collectively raise the issue. In this regard, written communication has reportedly been submitted to the district administration and police authorities in Patiala.
The leaders expressed support for the Punjab Governmentโs efforts toward the templeโs beautification but emphasized that matters connected to religious sentiments must be handled with sensitivity. They warned that if the disputed issues were not resolved in time, the matter could escalate into a larger religious controversy.
It was further decided during the meeting that a large gathering of Hindu organizations and a major press conference would soon be organized in Patiala, where the groups would announce their future course of action.
Speaking on the occasion, Pawan Gupta said that a comprehensive strategy was being prepared after considering suggestions received from various organizations, and a joint announcement would be made shortly. Newsline Express
