| Role of Dharmarth Trust must be appreciated: SDMC | | ‘Protesting employees should act responsibly’ | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
KISHTWAR, Jan 20: Sarthal Devi Management Council (SDMC) Kishtwar, said that vested interests in Jammu and disgruntled ex-employees who are fueling and inciting protests against the J&K Dharmarth Trust are doing a big disservice to Sanatan Dharma and Hindu Dharma.
In a statement issued today, the Vice-Chairman of SDMC, Sanjeev Parihar said that the J&K Dharmarth trust which was founded by Maharaja Gulab Singh in 1846 has maintained temples across the state for more than one-hundred and fifty years. He further said that the Trust has preserved and nurtured Hindu Dharma and religious places of worship in Jammu & Kashmir through many difficult times such as terrorism, with limited resources and also maintained Sanskrit schools and libraries.
Parihar said that it is sad and unfortunate that some disgruntled ex-employees who have benefitted from the Trust for many decades are now trying to damage and malign its public image only for their personal and vested interests. He said that the employees must act responsibly and perform their religious duties especially since the Trust management has assured that their grievances would be addressed in future. He added that these disgruntled employees who are protesting and striking in an uncivil and disrespectful manner have also brought dis-repute to Jammu that is known as city of temples.
Parihar said that the role of Dharmarth Trust in Jammu & Kashmir where Hindus are in a minority must be appreciated. He said that it must be noted that Dharmarth Trust not only looks after a handful of major Temples in Jammu and Srinagar, but, also takes care of almost one hundred smaller temples in remote areas of Jammu & Kashmir which are not visited by yatris. Parihar also added that the Dharmarth Trust and particularly its Chairman Trustee, Dr. Karan Singh have made several contributions for furthering Sanatan Dharma and Hindu religion. |
