1. Here are a few important clarifications on yesterday's Order of d SC in the #Jagannath Puri Temple Petition. It is not a "judgement", it is only an order at this point.The recommendations of the District Judge wrt Jagannath Temple are not final. Read Para 5 of order

2. The media,especially Deccan Chronicle,is distorting yesterday's Order to give d impression that d SC has directed that non-Hindus also be allowed entry into #Jagannath Temple subject to certain conditions.This is untrue.D Order clearly says it is a mere suggestion to consider

3. All stakeholders to Temple Management have the opportunity to now present their views to the Amicus Mr. Gopal Subramanium and the Committee to the constituted by the Union Government. This is the time to impress upon the Government to #FreeOurTemples.

4. The SC has expressly clarified in Para 9 that d Centre will look into management of Shrines of all faiths, not just Temples. Also, d grievance redressal mechanism under Section 92 of d CPC referred to by s SC in Para 10 of d Order is clearly applicable to all faiths #Jagannath

5. I repeat - all recommendations made by the District Judge with respect to the #Jagannath Temple are only recommendations and subject to stakeholder inputs and further orders of the Court. So instead of fretting, let us apply ourselves to the issue constructively.

6. The Report of the District Judge will be made available on the Website of the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Culture. Please go through it and get cracking on collecting data and marshalling arguments. Pls don't waste time in bellyaching. #Jagannath

7. Para 14 of the Order clearly ropes in the Ministry of Culture as I stated yesterday. This is the time to get this Ministry to act and address our concerns. We have an SC Order that says so. Start working. #Jagannath.
