Badrinath Kedarnath temple committee asks Sara Ali Khan to submit faith proof. For long Sara Ali Khan and people of other religion have been visiting Hindu temples and renowned shrines.
In the midst of all this, Badrinath Kedarnath temple committee asked Sara Ali Khan to submit faith proof. The BKTC chairman Hemant held a press conference on Tuesday to announce that non-Hindus who have faith in Sanatan Dharma must provide a written declaration of being a Sanatani and believing in Hindutva to enter Badrinath and Kedarnath temple complexes. The BKTC unanimously approved a proposal on March 10 to ban the entry of non-Sanatanis into the temples.
When specifically asked about Sara, according to PTI, he said, “If Sara Ali Khan affirms that she holds faith and devotion towards Sanatan, and subsequently submits an affidavit to that effect, she will be granted darshan.”
The BKTC has already standardised a format for this affidavit. The proposal has also been sent to the Uttarakhand government. This comes ahead of the Char Dham Yatra which will commence from April 19, with more than 6 lakh devotees having already registered. The Badrinath Dham will be open from April 23 and the Kedarnath Dham will be open from April 22.
Sara Ali Khan is yet to respond to these developments. Earlier she said “I remember asking my mom, what am I. And she told me I’m Indian. I don’t look at it like that. I don’t go to Kedarnath so I can get love for it. I did a movie and I got love for it, I am grateful for that love. But my personal trip to Kedarnath, with due respect to anybody that likes it or hates it, it’s not about any of you. It’s about me. And I feel comfortable there. I feel peaceful there. I feel happy there.”
