The Karnataka government will bring in a law aimed at freeing Hindu temples from laws and rules that control them at present, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Wednesday.
The Chief Minister also said that the government would constitute a special task force for the implementing the anti-conversion bill, once it becomes a law.
"Our seniors have informed me about things...places of worship of other communities are safe under different laws and they are free to practice. But our Hindu temples have been subjected to various controls and government laws and rules. There is a system under which permission has to be sought from higher officials to even utilize temple revenues for its own development," Mr Bommai said.
Addressing the state BJP executive, he said "it is the wish of our elders that Hindu temples be freed from such controls and laws."
