Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati, who is leading a nationwide public awareness campaign seeking to have the cow declared the “Mother of the Nation,” received a warm and enthusiastic welcome from the Samajwadi Party family in Saifai.
The apex court declined to entertain a petition against the Allahabad High Court order, allowing legal protection from arrest for the accused to continue.
ADJ (POCSO Act) Vinod Kumar Chaurasia ordered the registration of an FIR against Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati and his disciple Swami Mukundanand Giri.
The Shankaracharya is still sitting on a palanquin outside his camp on Triveni Marg at the Magh Mela.
He also strongly criticized the Yogi Adityanath government, stating that a 90-year-old man was dragged and beaten, and his disciples were also dragged by their hair and assaulted. Furthermore, the Shankaracharya was prevented from taking a holy dip.
He has been staging a sit-in outside his camp since 5 pm on January 18. After developing a fever this morning, he went into his vanity van at 10 am, but at 2 pm, he came out of the van and sat on a palanquin in front of his camp and continued his protest.
Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati Maharaj was recently denied entry into Arunachal Pradesh at Donyi Polo Airport, where he was set to lead his "Gau Dhwaj Yatra," aimed at promoting cow protection.
He also credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for awakening the self-pride in Hindus.
