Bengaluru/Mysuru: Despite stiff opposition, the State Government has decided to bring in all Hindu religious mutts and educational institutions run by them under its (Muzrai Department) purview. The issue rocked the Assembly this morning with the BJP and JD(S) staging a walkout. A protest was held in front of the Law Courts in Mysuru too this morning against the government move.
The BJP and JD(S) Legislators questioned the government move to control Mutts and curb religious freedom. The government has invited public opinion in this regard. The public notice has been issued by the Muzrai Department inviting suggestions from stakeholders on whether Hindu Mutts, temples and religious institutions should come under the control of Religious Endowment Act. This has angered the BJP and the JD(S).
