Shankaracharya in news for his statements
Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwarananda is constantly in news due to his statements in Maha Kumbh. Ever since the stampede on Mauni Amavasya, he has been verbally attacking the government and CM Yogi Adityanath . Completely rejecting the government's figures of people killed in the stampede, Shankaracharya had said that the government is lying.
Shankaracharya of Jyotish Peeth Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati had said that the stampede incident has exposed the government's arrangements. Officials were already claiming that 40 crore devotees would come to Maha Kumbh and 10 crore devotees on Mauni Amavasya. Accordingly, they should have made extensive preparations.
Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati had expressed his displeasure over keeping the death toll for 17 hours.
