During the conversation, a reporter raised concerns about alleged efforts to undermine tribal cultures in the name of religion. In response, Dhirendra Shastri remarked that “foreign forces” are actively working in the region, especially through influential organizations. He specifically pointed to Jashpur in Chhattisgarh, mentioning that it hosts Asia’s second-largest church, where he believes efforts are being made to establish a significant presence.
Dhirendra Shastri then drew a comparison to Mecca and Madina stated, “Mecca aur Madina mein toh Sanatani Hinduon ki dukaan nahi hai… wahan bhagwa rang ke kapde bhi Mecca Madina mein pravesh nahi kar sakte.” This statement, he implied, underscores why he believes the Maha Kumbh should only include Hindu vendors, as it is a significant event for the Hindu community.
