Politics is not Shankaracharya's domain… Sanjay Nirupam has said about Avimukteswarananda Saraswati's statement.
After the meeting between Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteswaranand Saraswathi and Uddhav Thackeray of Jyotish Peetha, politics has heated up in Maharashtra due to Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteswaranand Saraswathi's statement. Now Shiv Sena (Shinde wing) leader Sanjay Nirupam has responded to his comment. He said that politics is not Shankaracharya's domain. He should refrain from making any statement in this regard. Shankaracharya Avimukteswarananda Saraswati met Shiv Sena (UPD) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday and said Thackeray was a victim of betrayal. Sanjay Nirupam did not like this, he said on Tuesday, asking Shankaracharya to guide us on religion and spirituality. You are our religious teacher. But don't talk politics. This is not their field of work. Sanjay Rawat's response to Nirupam report: Uddhav Thackeray's alliance with the Congress and the Undivided Nationalist Congress Party was a betrayal, Nirupam added. If it is not treason it is a political decision to fulfill one's ambitions. However, Shiv Sena (UPD) president Sanjay Rawat hit back at Nirupam's statement and said that if anyone objects to Shankaracharya's comment, it means that he does not believe in Hindutva. Avimukdeswaranand Saraswati After meeting Thackeray at his residence Matosree in Bandra, Mumbai, Swami Avimukdeswaranand Saraswati had said that Uddhav Thackeray had betrayed him and that many were angry. He further said that the suffering of the people will end only if he returns as the Chief Minister. Let's say that in January this year, Avimukteswaranand Saraswati refused to go to Ramlala's Kumbabhishekam ceremony at the newly built Ram temple in Ayodhya.
