Summary:
Dehradun, Nov 8 (PTI) The live telecast of prayers by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Kedarnath and the presence of BJP leaders in the temple premises with their shoes on has kicked up a controversy, with the Congress terming it a violation of traditions.
The BJP leaders were seen wearing their shoes on in the Kedarnath temple complex.
Objecting to the live telecast, Congress general secretary Harish Rawat in a tweet said it set a wrong precedent.
"All devotees are equal in the eyes of Lord Shiva.
How can people be stopped now from entering the sanctum sanctorum of the temple with their cameras or mobile phones and recording things inside it.
Gradually, people will break other traditions as well," Rawat said.
