After Muslim vendors were prohibited from conducting businesses around temple premises in Karnataka, a wall painting by the Hindu Jagran Mancha Hindu activist group affiliated to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has forbidden the setting up of non-Hindu shops around temples in Uttar Pradesh’s Unnao.
The wall painting urges one to pay attention to cleanliness, says ‘To contact Hindu (Wake up Hindus)’.
The chief of Unnao’s Hindu Jagran Manch, Vimal Dwivedi, had recently given a memorandum to the district administration of Unnao, demanding the removal of all non-Hindu shops around the temple.
“A continuous campaign is being run to encourage safety and cleanliness. In the past, it has been seen that a madman entered the temple with a pistol, broke the donation box, and spread anarchy. There are such people sitting around our temples,” Dwivedi stated.
