Hyderabad: Union Minister of State for Home Bandi Sanjay on Sunday criticised the State government over the proposal to appoint Congress party social media coordinators in temple committees across the State.
Bandi Sanjay said temples were not political rehabilitation centres and asked the ruling party if it would dare to make such a move in respect of mosques and churches. “Does the Congress have the guts to make such a request for accommodation in masjids and churches? Or is it selectively only for Hindu temples?” he asked.
“Temples are places of faith, not political rehabilitation centres. Appointing ‘social media coordinators’ to supposedly push secular narratives in Hindu temple committees is wrong & diluting their spiritual purpose. Focus on stopping the attack on temples, respect the sanctity. They belong to the people and not political strategies. We urge the Telangana government to ensure that recruitment happening in temples is transparent without any political bias ,” he posted on ‘X’.
