Now Bageshwar Dham Peethadhishwar Pandit Dhirendra Shastri has agreed with the Akhara Parishad regarding the Mahakumbh 2025 being organized in Prayagraj. He asked the question whether there are Hindu shops in Mecca and Medina? He said that no Muslim can go to Kumbh even wearing saffron clothes. Pandit Dhirendra Shastri, who reached Kawardha in Chhattisgarh, said that what is your business in my courtyard. He said that the Akhara Parishad has decided that Muslims will not be allowed entry into the Kumbh. He is with the Akhara Parishad in this decision.
He said that if they have to maintain so much brotherhood, then why hasn’t a fatwa been issued against those who committed the spitting incident? This is double mentality and he cannot support it. In Kawardha and Kanker, Bageshwar Maharaj had darshan of Hanuman ji and Agar Moti Mata. During this, he announced that he would soon go on a padayatra to stop conversion in Bastar and to awaken Hindus. All the people who have converted during this period will return home.
Akhara Parishad had demanded
Accusing a particular community, he said that efforts are being made to destroy the tribal culture in a very planted manner. Let us tell you that recently the Akhara Parishad had passed a proposal not to provide tea, juice and food shops to Muslims in Prayagraj Mahakumbh. After this, Akhara Parishad had requested the government to implement this proposal. National President of Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad and National Secretary of Shri Panchayati Niranjani Akhara, Mahant Ravindra Puri Maharaj had made a demand to the government regarding this event. Considering its importance, it was said that no person from non-community should be given vendor license in the fair.
Trust in the community has decreased
He had argued that in the past, people of a particular community had committed the act of spitting or urinating in tea. Because of this, the trust of Hindus towards them has decreased. In such a situation, if shops are allotted to them in the Kumbh Mela, then there is a strong possibility of such an incident happening. In the request letter sent to the government, he has clearly said that Naga Sannyasis will also be present in large numbers in Kumbh. In such a situation, those who harm Sanatan Dharma and Hindu religion will not be tolerated. He said that many Muslims also work in the Akhara. Sages and saints never discriminate against them, but some fundamentalist Muslims have defamed the entire society.
