Temple ordinance should include all shrines of Valley: APMCC

Terming the assurance of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah regarding protection of temples as a good step,Pandita,however,pointed that even though the government could have passed the pending Bill in this regard in the recent Assembly session,it chose to “hoodwink” the Kashmiri Pandits.

He warned the government against any move to exclude temples managed by specific individuals or trusts from the ordinance.

Pandita also said the temples in the Valley should be fully controlled by Kashmiri Pandits as it will serve as a big confidence building measure for the community.
