Agra clerics warn Muslim community from attending events by godman Dhirendra Shastri.
Muslim clerics in Uttar Pradesh’s Agra have warned community members not to participate in events organised by Dhirendra Shastri of Bageshwar Dham.
Shastri, the head priest of Bageshwar Dham, a Hanuman temple in Gada village of Chhattarpur district in Madhya Pradesh, has been in the news lately.
In his satsangs, the godman claims to solve people’s problems and tells them about their pasts.
Mohammed Sharif Kala, the manager of the Agra mosque, told India Today that Dhirendra Shastri was talking about breaking the country.
“By declaring Sanathan Dharma as supreme, he claims to be establishing a Hindu Rashtra and demeaning the Muslim community,” he said.
Sami Agai, president of Bharatiya Muslim Vikas Parishad, reiterated the point and said action needs to be taken against the godman for his controversial statements against the Muslim community.
