JAMMU, Sept 2: VHP State president, Leela Karan Sharma said that his organization favours reconstitution of Board by including the local scholars, social activists, who have a faith in Sanatan Dharam and are men of integrity but we opposed the induction of local MP, local MLA, Deputy Commissioner and SSPs of the concerned districts as its members.
Sharma said that VHP is not opposed to reconstitution of the Board but made it clear that Mata Vaishno Devi is a Hindu Shrine Board and the Act by which the Board is constituted provides that its chairman should be Governor of the State and if the Governor is a non Hindu he will nominate a Hindu as his representative as chairman.
Sharma sidelined the demand of inclusion of local MP, MLA , DC and SSP of the concerned district as its members. He said the MP,MLA, DC and SSP could be Hindu, Muslim or of any other faith so they can’t be nominated as members of the Board, which is against the provisions of the Act.
