In Madhya Pradesh, the controversy over religion and social ideology is once again deepening. This time the matter is related to the famous saint Premanand Maharaj, whose recent video related to a social awareness became quite viral on social media.
In this video, he advised people to be conscious, expressing concern over the tendencies like the growing “boyfriend-gilfriend” among the youth. But disagreeing on his views, a young man threatened to kill him, causing heating the atmosphere.
Message spread from video, dispute started again A statement by Sant Premanand Maharaj in which he had expressed his concern over the breakup-patchup and temporary behavior of relationships spread among the youth, some people found objectionable. He had said that this trend is making the future of youth bleak and is harming the family and social structure. As soon as this video went viral, both support and opposition reactions began to appear.
Threatened on Facebook, accused told himself journalist The controversy became more serious when a young man from Satna district, who has created a Facebook profile called “Shatrughan Singh”, described himself as a journalist, threatened Sant Premanand Maharaj openly. The young man commented on the viral video and wrote that if this thing had been said about his family, he would have removed Maharaj’s neck.
Such an open threat angered many people spreading like a fire on social media, while some people have also demanded strict action against that young man.
Such controversies have happened before It is not new to create controversy after religious discourses. A few weeks ago, there was a ruckus on the statement of another narrator named Anirudhacharya, in which he said that “there are many breakups of girls by the age of 25.” His statement was also fiercely debated on social media. At present, it is not clear whether an official complaint has been filed by Sant Premanand Maharaj or his supporters. But questions are being raised on law and order regarding such threats. If action is not taken in time, then this trend can become a big challenge about the safety of religious leaders.
