He said temple committees and devotees must responsibly safeguard their rights, and added that temples had the freedom to conduct prayers and religious classes, and also celebrate festivals, in their compounds.
He said when individuals or organisations wanted to conduct special prayers, it was the duty of the committee to ensure these were for religious purposes and not anything else.
If organisers wanted to have speeches, then they should seek approval from the committee, which had the right to immediately stop any politically motivated speeches.
