Congress Party member and former CM of Maharashtra, Prithviraj Chavan has demanded that government should take over “One trillion dollars worth of gold” lying with various Devasthans (Hindu temples) during the current economic crisis! These gold have been donated by Hindus to the temples over the past several generations. [Ref: PGurus]
The above demand deserves to be strongly condemned. It has long been argued that temple donations in Hindu temples should be utilized properly for the benefit of Hindus all across India. But on the other hand, governments run by pseudo secular parties have been taking over temple funds for miscellaneous usage.
For example, when Kashmiri Pandits and Hindus were driven out of Kashmir, why were Hindu temple trusts all across our country not allowed to contribute money so that these people could be helped? Kashmiri Pandits became refugees inside our own country and there are scores of Kashmiri Pandits still living in refugee camps. Why should not be temple funds used to help them?
The problem is that most of the big Hindu temples are controlled by government and hence politicians are controlling how temples would spend the donation funds.
Congress party should stop eyeing Hindu temple funds and it should stop showing anti-Hindu tendencies regularly.
