Jamshedpur. Former Chief Minister cum National Vice President of BJP Raghubar Das has demanded opening of religious places in the state. Das said that all things have opened in Jharkhand except religious places. Religious sentiments are being hurt due to non-opening of temples, a large number of peopl7e have become victims of unemployment. Even big temples like Jagannath Dham of Puri or Mahakaleshwar temple of Ujjain have opened gates for the devotees.
He went on to add that Janmashtami was celebrated with pomp at all places like Mathura-Vrindavan, Dwarka, but in Jharkhand, the devotees of Krishna remained unhappy. In Jharkhand, the worshipers and shopkeepers associated with Baba Baidyanath temple are agitating.
In a press release issued on Monday, Das admitted that the danger of corona is not over yet, but when other big temples of the country can be opened following the corona rules, then why are the temples of Jharkhand not being opened. . The state government should be given permission to open temples and religious places following the Covid protocols. Only one month is left for Durga Puja, but the Hemant Soren government has not yet taken any decision on Durga Puja. If the government does not take any decision soon, then BJP workers will take to the streets and protest against it.
