A big decision has been taken in the famous Shani Shingnapur temple of Ahmednagar district. The temple trust has fired 167 employees. Of these, 114 employees are from the Muslim community. The trust has cited indiscipline and administrative irregularities as the reason for this action. According to the trust, some employees were not coming to work for the last 5 months without informing. The departments from which employees have been removed include agriculture, waste management and education departments. acharya Tushar Bhosale has given his reaction on this.

Congratulations to Shani devotees and organizations for this 'victory' - Tushar Bhosale

On this decision, acharya Tushar Bhosale said, "We all have organized a grand rally under the leadership of Sakal Hindu Samaj to protest against the appointment of Muslim employees in Shani Shingnapur temple, but under the pressure of this rally, the temple administration had to bow down and they decided that they are removing Muslim employees from the job. I congratulate all Shani devotees and Sakal Hindu Samaj across the country because this is the victory of unity of Sakal Hindu Samaj and it is their big victory."

Tushar Bhosale had announced the movement

However, religious and political pressure is also being discussed behind this decision. acharya Tushar Bhosale, head of BJP's Adhyatmik Samanvay Morcha, had announced a big movement on june 14 opposing the appointment of Muslim employees. Just a day before the movement, a meeting of the trust was held and during that time the decision of mass dismissal was taken. This step has given rise to political and religious debate in the area.

temple trustee said - action was not taken on the basis of religion

temple Trust Trustee Appasaheb Shete gave clarification in this matter and said that no employee was removed on the basis of religion, but this action was taken on the basis of their work and absence. He also said that the trust had already warned all the employees, but many people did not follow the rules, due to which this strict step had to be taken. At present, the response of the state government is awaited on this issue.
