Politics has heated up with the statement of Samajwadi Party General Secretary Swami Prasad Maurya on the media regarding Badrinath Dham as a place of Buddhism. On Friday, the Chief Minister of the state Pushkar Singh Dhami has given a statement on this. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami targeted Swami Prasad Maurya as well as the Samajwadi Party.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said that Badrinath Dham is the center of faith and reverence for people all over the world and the statement given by Swami Prasad Maurya (SP leader) is extremely unfortunate. Although it is natural for the alliance of which he is a part to make such statements.
Sarcasm of CM Dhami:
Targeting the Samajwadi Party and Swami Prasad Maurya, CM Dhami said that it is natural for the alliance of which he is a part to make such statements. Those who believe in appeasement and work to divide people.
CM Dhami said that at least Swami Prasad Maurya should pay attention before making such statements because he has Swami in front of his name. He said that this statement given by a leader of Samajwadi Party as a member of Grand Alliance shows the anti-national and anti-religion thinking of Congress and its allies.
Dimple Yadav is the daughter of Uttarakhand:
Taking a dig at Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Friday, he said that Smt. Dimple Yadav, wife of Samajwadi Party’s supreme leader, who is the daughter of Uttarakhand, I would like her to answer the leader of her party who has such disruptive thinking.
Swami Prasad Maurya gave a controversial statement:
SP’s national general secretary Swami Prasad Maurya, who gave objectionable statements on saints after the Ramcharit Manas controversy, now gave a controversial statement regarding the holy religious place Badrinath Dham in Uttarakhand. Swami Prasad Maurya said that Badrinath was a place of Buddhism till the 8th century and the Badrinath temple was built after destroying the Buddhist religious place.
There is fury among sages:
Sadhus and saints are angry after Samajwadi Party leader Swami Prasad Maurya’s statement on Badrinath. Expressing strong objection to the statement of Swami Prasad Maurya, Bhumapithadhishwar Swami Achyutanand Tirtha said that this is little knowledge of Maurya. It is mentioned in Vishnu Purana that Badrinath Dham is the place of Nar-Narayan. It is also mentioned in the Mahabharata. This proves that this place has been a Hindu religious place since time immemorial. Anyone else’s entry in Badrikashram area has been prohibited, in such a situation it is completely wrong to call it a Buddhist shrine.
Shrimahant Ravindra Puri, secretary of Shri Panchayati Akhara Niranjani, said that Maurya has reached the margins in politics due to his defection and opportunistic policy. That’s why he is doing all this to bring himself in the limelight. There is no need to pay attention to their baseless talk.
