BARABANKI: Uttar Pradesh Minister Satish Sharma faced flak from the opposition Monday after a video surfaced online showing him washing his hands at a shivling in the Lodheshwar Mahadev temple in Barabanki.
The video clip showed Minister of State for Food and Civil Supplies washing his hand in the 'argha,' or the base, of the shivling with the help of a priest.
Congress and Samajwadi Party took exception to the act and demanded resignation of the minister for "insulting the Sanatan dharma."
