Muzaffarpur: A complaint petition was filed in a court in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur against information technology minister Mohammad Israil Mansuri for visiting the Vishnupad temple in Gaya.
Muzaffarpur-based social activist Chandra Kishore Parashar filed the petition seeking the registration of an FIR against the minister for “hurting religious sentiment of Hindus”.
“My client, in his complaint, said that the minister, being a Muslim, should not have visited the Vishnupad temple as only those who follow the Sanatana Dharma are allowed to visit it. The court will hear the matter on September 2,” Parashar’s lawyer Ravindra Kumar Singh said here on Wednesday.
Mansuri, a Pasmanda Muslim, had accompanied chief minister Nitish Kumar on his tour of Gaya earlier this week during which they offered prayers at the Vishnupad temple.BJP leaders had fulminated, citing a notice board on the temple premises that says “only followers of Sanatana Dharma” are allowed to enter.
