Congress takes a dig at Yogi government, ‘First the Muslims and now the BJP people are asking the Shankaracharya to show their papers.

Bureau Prayagraj. Citing the notice issued to Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati by the Uttar Pradesh administration, the Congress on Tuesday targeted the Yogi Adityanath government of the state and said that the people of Bharatiya Janata Party, while asking for citizenship papers from the Muslims of the country, are now asking Shankaracharya to show the papers. Party’s media department head Pawan Kheda also said that no Chief Minister or administration has the capacity to decide who Shankaracharya is.

In fact, Amidst the controversy over Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati being prevented from taking Mauni Amavasya bath in the Magh Mela by the fair police and administration, the fair administration has issued a notice to him asking how he is promoting himself as the Shankaracharya of Jyotishpeeth.

Pawan Kheda told reporters here”There is an unbroken tradition of Guru-disciple, Under which Shankaracharya is elected. But the government is giving notice at midnight asking whether you are Shankaracharya or not.

he said”When Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bowed before Avimukteshwarananda ji, Till then he was Shankaracharya, Unless he asked questions to the government on beef, Till then he was Shankaracharya, Until Avimukteshwarananda ji, were not opposing the consecration of the half-finished temple, Till then he was Shankaracharya… but now he is no more., Because he did not bow before the king, That’s why Adityanath is asking for papers from them today.

he said sarcastically”Earlier BJP people used to ask Muslims to show their papers. Now the situation has reached such a level that they are even asking for papers from Shankaracharya.

Kheda said”In 1954, the Supreme Court had ordered that no one has the right to interfere in the running of the monastery. In such a situation, the notice sent by Ajay Singh Bisht (Yogi Adityanath), That is a violation of the law. The whole country is watching the silence of Modi and Ajay Singh Bisht., The country will never forgive them.
