Right-wing outfits and NCP MLA’s protest led to dismissal of 114 Muslim workers at Shani Shingnapur temple in Maharashtra

sabrangindia - June 19, 2025

In Ahmednagar’s Shri Shani Shingnapur temple, 114 Muslim workers were among 167 dismissed by the Shri Shaneshwar Devasthan trust. While the reasons cited were alleged disciplinary lapses it is no coincidence that right-wing groups—Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS), Sakal Hindu Samaj (SHS), and an MLA belonging to the NCP—had earlier protested and demanded the removal of Muslim employees at temple, claiming temple donations serve ‘Hindu causes’ and that the ‘sanctity of temple’ would be marred; following dismissals, these groups hailed the action, while the temple trust denied religious bias
