If there was a strong justice system, Modi-Yogi would have been in jail: Shankaracharya
Subramanian Swamy agrees with Shankaracharya's statement calling him 'the fearless Jagatguru'
New Delhi: Jagadguru Shankaracharya Nischalananda Saraswati of Puri Peeth criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath, claiming that a strong judicial system in India would have imprisoned both Modi and Yogi. He accused them of appointing a "terrorist" as a Shankaracharya, and questioned as to what can be a bigger crime.
Speaking to the media in Ujjain after attending the Dharmasabha organised by the Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple Management Committee, the Shankaracharya questioned the accountability of the country's leadership. “A terrorist is being paraded as a Shankaracharya. Is this the duty of the Prime Minister and Chief Minister? There is no judicial system in India capable of punishing them for this,” he remarked.
When asked about his interactions with PM Modi, he revealed that the Prime Minister had once visited him during his trip to Gujarat.
BJP leader Subramanian Swamy supported the Shankaracharya's remarks, calling him "The Fearless Jagatguru" in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Swamy, a known critic of the Modi government, recently referred to the Prime Minister as a "liar" and expressed regret for backing him during the 2014 elections.
Shankaracharya had spent three days at Ujjain’s Jhalariya Math on Narasimha Ghat before addressing the media and departing for Puri.
