Some Hindu nationalist leaders gave an ultimatum to the Aligarh government in India about a religious place that’s being argued over. These leaders who are part of right-wing groups want the government to “free” a Hindu temple close to Aligarh Muslim University. They said this at a meeting recently and gave the government an order to act now or they will do something about it. The leaders say the temple isn’t managed by Hindus and they want it to be free by the government taking control of it.
This demand is part of a bigger movement where these groups want to take back religious sites that they believe were wrongly taken from Hindus. The situation in Aligarh is making things worse between religious groups in the area. The leaders have said they’ll act themselves if their demands aren’t met which is making people worry about possible violence. The meeting happened in Aligarh near the temple that’s being argued about. This threat shows that the leaders want immediate and forceful changes to the temple’s current situation.
The Aligarh government has been given a short time to respond to the leaders’ demands. The demand to free the temple is a key part of the leaders’ attempt to get more support. The situation might get much worse because the area has a history of arguments between religious groups. The leaders think the temple situation is wrong and they are determined to fix it. The source doesn’t say how the government is responding to the ultimatum.
