The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Tamil Nadu criticises state ministers over an incident in which a Muslim aide enters a temple wearing a skull cap. The party says the incident occurred on Saturday and claims it breaches a Madras High Court order issued in January 2024.
The BJP alleges the court order restricts non-Hindus from proceeding beyond the temple’s flagmast unless they submit an undertaking affirming their faith in the deity and agreeing to follow Hindu customs. BJP statements also argue the entry contravenes the temple’s dress code and religious traditions. Other reports focus on the party’s claim that ministers allowed the aide to enter despite these conditions. No details beyond the allegations are cited in the provided excerpts, and the ministers or temple authorities do not feature in the supplied accounts.
