The ongoing tension between Jyotishpeeth’s Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati and the state government does not seem to be subsiding at present. Shankaracharya Avimukteshwarananda Saraswati has written a letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, challenging the claim of Animal Husbandry Minister Dharampal Singh of the state government in which he had termed the incidents of cow slaughter as an illusion and untruth.
In fact, recently Animal Husbandry Minister Dharampal Singh had declared the cow progeny completely safe in the state and termed the incidents of cow slaughter as ‘illusion’ and ‘untruth’. Now Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati ‘1008’ of Jyotishpeeth has taken a strong stand on this claim. He has written a letter to the Chief Minister demanding permission to the representatives of ‘Jyotishpeeth’ for independent investigation and ‘collection of evidence’ to prove the claims of state power on the ground.
‘There should be no hesitation in scientific testing’
Shankaracharya ji has made it clear that if the government’s faith is unshakeable, then there should be no hesitation in conducting scientific tests for transparency. Shankaracharya has said in strong words in his message, “If the claims of the government are true, then there should not be a delay of even a few moments in granting this permission. Not granting the permission would automatically prove that the statement of the Animal Husbandry Minister is just an attempt to cover up the truth.”
‘Protection of cow progeny should be visible on the ground’
Shankaracharya Avimukteshwarananda believes that the protection of cow progeny should not be seen only in paper figures but on the ground. If the government cooperates, it will not take time for milk to become milk and water to become water. Let us tell you that after the controversy over bathing in Prayagraj Magh Mela, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh government is continuously targeting Shankaracharya Avimukteshwarananda. Swami Avimukteshwaranand had recently also asked for proof of being a Hindu from CM Yogi Adityanath.
