Gangasagar (Bengal) – Shankaracharya of Puri, Swami Nischalananda Saraswati, expressed dissatisfaction over the Ayodhya judgement and said that if the land is gifted to Muslims, it will encourage terrorism in the name of teaching, training and worshipping at the allotted space.
The Shankaracharya, during His visit to the Gangasagar Mela, said that if the land in Ayodhya is given to Muslims, the members of the community from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Arab countries will give it the form of Mecca even if the minority community in India does not want to do so.
“In the name of teaching training and worship, terrorism will be encouraged at the given land. The path has not been cleared for the construction of the temple but for throwing India into the pit of terrorism”, He claimed.
The pilgrimage centres of Hindus should not be converted into tourist hubs in the name of the development.
