Mumbai – A case has been registered against a priest who dressed the idol of the goddess in the clothes of Mother Mary and attached a cross to it at the Shri Kalimate temple in the crematorium premises at Washinaka in Chembur. This incident was noticed by devotees on the night of 22nd November. Based on a complaint filed by local devotees, the Police have arrested priest Ramesh Yogeshwar and the court has given him 2 days judicial custody.

Local devotees gathered and asked priest Ramesh Yogeshwar about this incident. He said, ‘the goddess came to me in a dream and asked me to give the idol the form of Mother Mary.’ Therefore, the angry devotees handed him over to the Police. ‘There is a conspiracy behind this to convert people and some more people are involved in this. They should be found and arrested,’ the devotees and local Hindutva organisations have demanded.

Editorial Perspective 

Others never do anything against their Dharma. Hindus, however, do such anti-Dharma acts because they lack  education on Dharma, which is the need of the hour.
