VHP demands ban on non-Hindus at major UP temples

The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) is demanding a ban on non-Hindus entering major UP temples, including Ayodhya, Varanasi, and Mathura, citing sanctity concerns. This follows similar moves in Uttarakhand. VHP argues temples are for worship, not tourism, and cites existing restrictions at other Indian shrines. The push aims to preserve religious sanctity against casual visitors.
