Dhirendra Shastri: Chief of Bageshwar Dham, Dhirendra Shastri, has set off a dispute once more with his statement that ‘foreign’ powers should not be allowed to infiltrate Hindu temples and gurudwaras and entice unsuspecting Hindus. During his three days in Punjab, Bageshwar Dham Chief Dhirendra Shastri also paid a visit to the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
Advocating Protection of Hindu Faith and Culture
While speaking at Pathankot on Sunday he said “Punjab is the land of saints, of the brave. People of the state are loving and big-hearted. My goal is to spread the message of our culture and Sanatana across the country. I just want that foreign powers do not enter Gurudwaras or temples or lure innocent Hindus or people of any religion. That is what I am saying across the country. This is the country of Raghuvar, not Babar. In the country of Raghuvar, unless the law is not tightened around miscreants, they will continue to lure innocent Hindus and convert them. Unless this is dealt with strictly, this situation will not change.”
Dhirendra Shastri Pledges to Protect Sanatana Dharma and Promote Unity in Punjab
He went on to say that the people of Punjab uphold Sanatana Dharma, and he will not permit bad forces to eradicate Sanatana. “In Punjab, people follow Sanatana Dharma, there is Sanatana unity. We won’t allow the Anti-Sanatana evil forces that want to wipe out Sanatana and are luring our Hindus to convert them. We’ll keep the Sanatana unity,” Shastri said.
Christian Community in Punjab Reacts Strongly to Dhirendra Shastri’s Statements
The Christian community in Punjab, however, took the spiritual preacher’s remarks personally and interpreted them as an attack on their community. Dhirendra Shastri has been urged to retract his statement and provide an apology by Vilayat Masih, the president of the United Christian Dalit Front Punjab. In addition, the forum filed a complaint on the remarks made by the chief of Bageshwar Dham with the Punjab Police.
