Freeing Temples From Govt’s Control Is Important
Karnataka govt has passed a bill to collect a 10% tax from temples with revenues exceeding ₹1 crore and 5% from those with revenues ranging between ₹10 lakh to ₹1 crore. The govt stated that the collection will go to the Common Pool Fund (CPF), which will be used to improve the condition of C-grade temples and provide quality education to children of priests.
Does the Karnataka govt also collect a 10% tax from other religious sites like mosques or churches for Waqf development, Haj Bhawan, and the Christian community? Freeing temples from state control allows temples to take care of not only themselves but also other temples who are in poor condition. Please don’t give us the lectures about the welfare schemes. Many temples in India are already running hospitals, schools, shelter homes, etc., for the welfare of society and our nation.
Free Temples across India is the need of the hour.
