A spiritual body affiliated to the BJP held a protest outside the Grishneshwar temple at Ellora in Maharashtra’s Aurangabad district over its demand for reopening religious places, which are shut in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some members of the organisation, Adhyatmik Samanvay Aghadi, performed the ‘abhishek’ of a Shivlinga brought by them outside the closed temple to press for their demand.
Talking to PTI, the organisation’s state president Tushar Bhosale said, “Temples are shut since the last one-and-a-half years, affecting the livelihood of people dependent on these places. We are giving an ultimatum of eight days. If temples are not opened by then, we will take up an extensive agitation across the state.”
