On this Special Report, anchor Akshita Nandagopal examines the escalating political flashpoint in Uttarakhand following the Badrinath Kedarnath Temple Committee’s (BKTC) proposal to bar non-Hindus from temples under its jurisdiction. Akshita Nandagopal notes that the committee views these sites as ‘supreme spiritual centers of Sanatana Dharma’ rather than tourist spots. The move, led by BKTC head Hemant Dwivedi, aims to pass a resolution covering 48 temples to keep ‘Sanatan traditions and customs intact.’ Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has supported the sentiment, stating the government will act in line with religious organizations to protect sacred sites. However, the opposition, led by former Chief Minister Harish Rawat, has criticized the move as a ‘BJP agenda’ aimed at polarization. The report highlights that the BKTC maintains entry is a matter of religious tradition rather than a civil rights issue, with plans to potentially turn this proposal into a formal law following upcoming board meetings.
