During the Sandal procession on Saturday, the Muslim youths stood near the northern entrance of the Trimbakeshwar temple and offered incense. Although this is an old tradition of offering ‘dhup’ (burning of incense) to our deities, the subcontractors of BJP used the situation to fan communal sentiments in the state in the name of Hindutva.”
