Missive
to Shri Bhattacharjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal
Subject:
Setting up a Waqf like Hindu Board for management and
protection of Hindu religious Institutions in
West Bengal
Ref:
Clandestine yet Predatory activities of religious
expansionists and unscrupulous persons.
Shri Buddhadeb
Bhattacharjee
Chief Minister, West Bengal, India
Hon'ble Chief Minister Bhattacharjee,
Forwarded hereunder is an explosive and a startling complaint
revealing that a Muslim individual has grabbed Lord Krishna temple in Gopalpur
Mouza, Basirhat district in West Bengal and that its lands with extreme communal
intent have been falsely recorded under various names leaving literally nothing
for the temple, its maintenance, management and devotees (Attachment A). Such
robbery in broad day light, under one pretext or the other (essentially
constituting acts of antagonism against Hindus) - is extremely provocative and
bears potential of engulfing the state in an unprecedented communal strife anew.
To prevent the situation from taking such an ugly turn an immediate official
intervention seems to be an absolute necessity. In a country where freedom and
equality of all religions is guaranteed, such a naked aggression by one religion
with a view to deprive another religion of its assets and source of sustenance,
must be considered criminal and therefore, severely punishable under law.
Given the seriousness of this complaint we believe that Govt. should
conduct a full and comprehensive investigation, punish the miscreants and
restore the lands to the temple. By taking a firm stand in this case the
authorities can set an example and send a stern warning to those conspiring to
spread “religious and communal disharmony” in the state that their mischief will
not be allowed to succeed. Simultaneously they could assure the general public
that their religious rights and places of worship will be protected.
Restoring, by taking expeditious measures, the role of the community
in temple management and setting up Hindu Advisory Councils should be an
integral part of the new policy. Such Councils could play a role in
oversight and decision making process of the endowments department and
temple
Trusts.
These Councils elected or nominated by the Community, state and national
religious leaders could shoulder a significant amount of decision making and
management responsibilities. They could also stop desecration and decimation of
the religious infrastructure taking place under Govt. control of religious
entities pending denationalization, and till autonomous Boards are constituted
for taking over the charge.
Responding to the need of our times it will be highly desirable if the
government constitutes a Waqf like Hindu Board. As a matter of fact
such an advice has already been provided by the Allahabad High Court for
overseeing the management of Hindu religious institutions and places of worship,
to the government of Utter Pradesh. This judicial advisory has universal
applicability.
We would like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration. We
are also hoping for receiving an early response strongly upholding equality and
freedom of all faiths as dictated by India’s national Constitution and
principles of secularism.
