Avimukteshwaranand said on stampede in Mahakumbh...
After the stampede in Prayagraj Mahakumbh in Uttar Pradesh, the bharatiya janata party government in the state is facing criticism from all sides. After political parties, reactions are coming from saints and mahants as well. In this sequence, Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati has said that the current government no longer has the moral right to remain in power.
Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati of Jyotish Peeth has given a big statement on the stampede in Prayagraj Mahakumbh. He said that the stampede incident has exposed the government arrangements. Officials were already claiming that 40 crore devotees would come to Mahakumbh and 10 crore devotees on Mauni Amavasya. According to this, they should have made extensive preparations. Shankaracharya said that the incident shows that the preparations were not complete and people's lives were played with. If there is arrangement for 1000 people in a function at our house, then we should not invite 5000 people there. This is what happened in maha Kumbh.
No proper arrangements at ground zero - Shankaracharya
Shankaracharya said that devotees came here after getting information about the better arrangements, but there were no proper arrangements for them at ground zero.
Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati has expressed his displeasure over keeping the death toll for 17 hours. He says that on all government social media accounts including cm Yogi, people were being appealed not to pay attention to rumors by not giving correct information about the incident. In such a situation, religious leaders like him did not even get information about this incident. He said that if the information of the incident was received at the right time, then people would have followed the traditions and paid tribute to the dead souls and kept a day's fast. Many people were contacting him on the phone and talking about their people being missing and not getting any information.
