NEW DELHI: "Any priest who discriminates on caste basis should be declared unfit to lead prayers at temples," BJP MP Tarun Vijay said on Friday.The MP from Uttarakhand led a group of dalits into the Mahasu-Devta (Maha Shiva) temple in Dehradun district, which had allegedly denied entry to some members of the community two days back.The incident was reported from village Lakshyiari. The dalits were not just denied entry into the temple, but were also attacked with iron rods, according to reports."Dalits are our gods and if any priest discriminates against them, he works against Hindu dharma and should be debarred from leading prayers in temples," Tarun Vijay said.Local dalit leaders Daulat Kunwar and Saraswati thanked the BJP MP for his strong stand on the issue.
