Swami Yashveer Maharaj on Kanwar Yatra: The case of investigation of non -Hindus in hotels and dhabas was not yet stopped that Swami Yashveer Maharaj in Muzaffarnagar has given rise to another controversy. Yashveer Maharaj has appealed to the devotees going to take Kavad not to buy Kanwar made of Muslim artisans. This video is becoming increasingly viral on social media.

Swami Yashveer Maharaj claimed in his video that Jihadi gangs (Muslims) do the work of making 90% kavad in Haridwar. He said that these jihadi people mix it with spit and urine in food, then their kavad will also be impure. He appealed to the devotees to take the goods to make kavad from their house instead of buying kanvad from Haridwar.

He suggested that Shiva devotees take a stick, two small cans or lots of plastic to Haridwar and fill the holy Ganges water and tie it in your stick and bring it as Kavad. According to him, such kavad will be sacred, while the kavad purchased from Haridwar is impure and fragmented.

Question on the faith of Sanatan Dharma

Not only this, Swami Yashveer also raised the question that in whose religion it is considered to be the right to make the kanvad of Sanatan Dharma. He said that we do not trust such people at all, because this is a question of our purity and faith of Sanatan Dharma.

Nemaplate came under discussion with controversies

Please tell here that Swami Yashveer Maharaj has been in the discussion about setting up nameplates on shops and dhabas and running identity campaigns on the Kandar Yatra route earlier. Recently, Uttarakhand Police stopped him from entering Haridwar, when he was going to check the hotel-dhabas on the Kavad Marg.
