The demand for banning Muslim traders from doing business in temple fairs and around Hindu shrines has reached Mysuru with Vishwa Hindu Parishad leaders submitting a memorandum to the authorities to evict Muslim businesses around the Chamundeshwari Temple premises atop Chamundi Hills.
Chamundeshwari Temple Executive Officer Yathiraj confirmed to The Hindu that the Vishwa Hindu Parishad leaders in Mysuru had submitted a memorandum in the regard on Saturday. “We will forward the petition to the higher authorities and await instructions from them”, he said.
However, the Executive Officer said there were no Muslim shops on properties belonging to Chamundeshwari Temple around the hill shrine. But, added that he was not aware if any shops belonging to the community were present on private property atop Chamundi Hills.
