Dhirendra Shastri of Bageshwar Dham surrounded by controversies after commenting on Lord Krishna

Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, the Peethadhishwar of the famous Siddha Peeth Bageshwar Dham of Madhya Pradesh, has once again come into the center of headlines and controversies across the country due to his statements. This time, independent MP from Purnia, Bihar, Pappu Yadav (Rajesh Ranjan) has openly opened a front against him regarding one of his alleged remarks. Describing a statement given by Dhirendra Shastri on issues related to Lord Shri Krishna and Sanatan Aastha as a grave insult to Lord Krishna, MP Pappu Yadav has officially announced to take legal action against him and file a case in the court. After this aggressive stance of Pappu Yadav, heavy rhetoric has started between the politics and religious organizations of Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. Let us know what is the whole matter and why this new controversy has increased.

#1. What is the whole matter? Know on which statement of Dhirendra Shastri MP Pappu Yadav got angry

The entire controversy started with the statement given by Dhirendra Krishna Shastri during the Katha in Bageshwar Dham, Madhya Pradesh, in which he made such remarks while referring to Lord Shri Krishna and Raslila or incidents from his life, on which many supporters of Yadav community and Sanatan Dharma have raised objection. As soon as the video of the statement went viral on social media, there was a sharp reaction to it at the political and social level. Purnia MP Pappu Yadav termed this statement as a direct attack on the dignity of Lord Shri Krishna and the faith of crores of devotees of the country. He said that such storytellers who spread hypocrisy in the name of Sanatan Dharma cannot be allowed to insult God at all.

#1. Pappu Yadav will sue Dhirendra Shastri: Gave strict warning and announced legal action

While talking to the media, MP Pappu Yadav said in a very harsh tone that he will not tolerate this act of Dhirendra Shastri at all and will soon file an FIR against him in the court under the sections of hurting religious sentiments and spreading disharmony in the society. Pappu Yadav said, “Lord Shri Krishna is a symbol of worship and dignity in the whole world. Dhirendra Shastri should not make the mistake of considering himself above the law and God. He is running a shop in the name of religion and tries to get TRP by making new unrestrained statements every day.” Pappu Yadav also demanded that the statements of such babas should be stopped immediately and strict administrative action should be taken against them.

#1. There has already been a war of words between Dhirendra Shastri and Pappu Yadav.

This is not the first time that there is a fight between Purnia MP Pappu Yadav and Dhirendra Shastri of Bageshwar Dham. Even before this, when Pandit Dhirendra Shastri had come to Patna, Bihar to deliver Hanumanth Katha, Pappu Yadav had strongly attacked his statements and ‘Hindu Rashtra’ agenda. During that time also there were very sharp statements from both the sides. Now, after the issue of comments on Lord Shri Krishna has come up, this old enmity has flared up once again. Pappu Yadav’s supporters say that they will not shy away from taking this matter to the Supreme Court.

#1. Reaction of Sant Samaj and fans on the controversy: War broke out on social media

After this statement of Dhirendra Shastri and the announcement of filing a lawsuit by Pappu Yadav, a war has broken out between supporters and opponents on the internet. On one hand, while supporters of Pappu Yadav and many social organizations are demanding a public apology from Dhirendra Shastri for making indecent remarks on Lord Shri Krishna, on the other hand, followers of Bageshwar Dham and fans of Dhirendra Shastri are calling it a politically motivated attack. Supporters argue that Maharaj ji’s statement is being presented out of context and his intention was not to hurt anyone’s sentiments. However, the announcement of this legal step by Pappu Yadav has brought a new boil in the politics of Bihar and Madhya Pradesh.
