JAMMU, Feb 10: Sadhu Dharamasthan Surakshini Samiti (SDSS) has termed the Kashmiri Hindu Temples and Shrines bill as a conspiracy to cause exodus of sadhu and saints from Kashmir valley.
Addressing a press conference, Mahant Subash Shah, working president of the Samiti told that the bill which is with the select committee of J&K Assembly presently and Government also intends to move and get it passed in the Budget Session of the State legislature is divisive in nature, having potential to divide the Kashmiri Hindus (pandits) and the Hindu of Jammu and the country.
During heightened militancy when Kashmiri pandits had mass exodus from Kashmir valley, leaving the Hindu temples and shrines unattended, some sadhus and mahants after taking risk of their lives, protected these religious places, he said, adding that some of them even sacrificed their lives in the exercise, he added.
