No non-Hindu vendors at the Kumbh Mela, nor have they made any such demand : Jyotish Peeth Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati

Shankaracharya of Jyotish Peeth Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati

New Delhi – The largest pilgrimage site for Muslims is Mecca, where non-Muslims are stopped 40 km before the entrance. There will be no Muslim vendors at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj nor have they made any such demand. Political parties have created hostility on this issue, claimed Jyotish Peeth Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati in an interview with a Hindi news channel. He also mentioned that a delegation would soon visit Bangladesh to understand the actual condition of Hindus there.

Key points made by the Shankaracharya

If Yogi Adityanath grants ‘Mother of the State’ status to the cow, I will become his servant

Muslims from Kashmir once told us to enact strict laws against cow slaughter. We receive support from both Muslims and Christians to ban cow slaughter. If Yogi Adityanath’s Government grants cow, the ‘Mother of the State’ status, everything will be done in Yogi’s name. We shall give our muth to him and I will become his servant.

No political party for Hindus at present

The oath of secularism is taken as per the Constitution, yet some parties claim that their parties are for Hindus. No party has, however, claimed in an affidavit that the party was for Hindus. Political parties are hypocritical. Currently, there is no party that truly represents
Hindus.
