Congress shares photo of Amit Shah wearing shoes on Mysuru Temple premises
calls it proof of BJP’s hypocrisy
Mysuru: The Karnataka Congress has criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah for wearing shoes on the premises of Sri Chamundeshwari Temple here.
Shah had visited the Temple on the Chamundi Hills and offered prayers on Monday, before traveling to Gundlupet to campaign for the BJP for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections.
In a photo that the Karnataka Congress shared on its Twitter handle, the security personnel as well as the MP and the legislators who accompanied Shah during the visit are seen barefooted while the Union Minister is seen wearing his shoes, at the entrance to the Temple.
The KPCC has asked, “When everyone else is barefooted on the Temple premises, why is only Amit Shah wearing shoes?”
The Congress, in its tweet, has also called Shah’s act hypocritical, asking, “Is he not expected to have greater faith in religion than anyone else? His shoes have exposed BJP’s hypocrisy!”
The photo shared on Twitter is going viral and also giving rise to arguments on the matter among users as well as a controversy regarding violation of rules.

Bijnor (PTI): Two men were arrested in this Uttar Pradesh district on Friday for allegedly being in touch with a Pakistan-linked handler based in Dubai, police said.
Circle Officer, Najibabad, Anjani Kumar Chaturvedi said Uvaid Malik and Jalal Haider were arrested following inputs on their alleged links with Aqib, a resident of Meerut currently staying in Dubai.
According to police, Aqib had earlier come into the spotlight after a video surfaced on Instagram purportedly showing him displaying an AK-47 rifle and explosives.
During interrogation, the arrested men allegedly told police that Aqib used to incite youngsters against Hindus and encourage anti-national activities, the officer said, adding that detailed questioning of the accused is underway.
On April 6, Superintendent of Police (SP) Abhishek Jha said the video first surfaced in November last year. Aqib, a native of Sathla village in the Mawana area of Meerut, was allegedly seen in the video brandishing weapons.
Following the viral clip, a case was registered at the Nangal police station by sub-inspector Vinod Kumar. However, the then station house officer and investigating officer Satyendra Singh had recorded Aqib's statement and filed a final report, stating that the weapons seen in the video were toys, effectively giving him a clean chit.
Police said fresh developments have now revealed Aqib's suspicious links and the probe has been handed over to the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS).
The SP said action has been taken against the officials concerned, with the then SHO and investigating officer suspended and Circle Officer Nitesh Pratap Singh removed from his post.
