The hijab controversy in Karnataka has not cooled down yet, and posters put up against a particular community are in the news. According to the news agency, a controversial banner has been put up in many temples of Karnataka, in which it has been written to Muslim organizations not to set up shops or stalls in the fairs held near the temples.
However, the committees handling the management of the temples have denied any such order. State Minorities Commission Chairman Abdul Azim said on Wednesday that talks are on with the temple administration about not allowing non-Hindus to set up shops, the matter will be resolved soon.
the right-wing group behind banners
After the refusal of the temple committees, the people who put up these banners could not be traced. However, according to media reports, members of right-wing Hindu groups may be behind this. Right-wing groups believe that Muslim organizations announced the closure of their shops after the court decided on the hijab controversy. That is why they should not be allowed to set up stalls in the annual fairs of temples.
Durgaparameshwari temple fair from April 20
The annual fair is to be organized on April 20 at Bappanadu Durgaparameshwari temple near the Mangalore district of Karnataka. The temple land will be auctioned for setting up stalls in the fair.

The administrator of the Durgaparameshwari temple, Manohar Sethi, said that the temple administration has not put up such banners. Some people have put up banners here without our permission.
