Kashi Shankaracharya: Parties should not compromise with nation’s safety
The initiative taken by the state government to revive the lost glory of Kumbh Mela in Triveni at Kalyani has been hailed by religious leaders, sadhus and monks.
The District Authorities did not allow Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati to come out of his Vidya Math after he announced to do a Parikrama of Vishwanath Temple-Gyanvapi complex on Monday.
Heavy police force was deployed at all places including gate number four of the temple of the Math, forcing Shankaracharya to remain inside.
Police officials said that Section 144 was in force and hence parikrama was not allowed.

The Shankaracharya had announced in the morning that he will circumambulate the Vishwanath Temple on Monday at 3 pm.
Meanwhile, the Uttar Pradesh Congress has attacked the BJP government for denying Shankaracharya of doing a Sanatan religious ritual.
The administration stopped Swami Avimukteshwaranand from going there as Section 144 was in place.
Swami ji was ready to go alone but the administration put him under house arrest in Vidyamath located in Sonarpura, alleged UP Congress president Ajay Rai.
Rai said that the BJP government is anti-Sanatan Dharma and Shankaracharya is the flag bearer of Sanatan Dharma and this kind of behaviour with him is extremely shameful and disturbing to every Sanatani, he said.
