Spiritual leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam on Monday welcomed Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s reported desire to visit Ayodhya, but urged him to visit Mathura’s Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi first and support the construction of a temple there.
Speaking to IANS, Krishnam said Akhilesh Yadav had realised that there could be no welfare without Lord Ram. He said the SP chief was welcome to visit Ayodhya, as Lord Ram belonged to everyone, but should first visit Mathura, offer prayers and acknowledge the site as Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi.
Krishnam also criticised Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge over his Diwali greeting in which he described the festival as “khushiyon ka ek Eid” (an Eid of happiness).
“I feel sorry for Mallikarjun Kharge after seeing his condition. He has become a pity. He is himself troubled and wants to step down as Congress president. However, Rahul Gandhi likes people who serve him rather than leaders, and that is why Kharge is not being allowed to step down,” he said.
Kharge had made the remark while extending Diwali greetings, describing the festival as one celebrated across India and calling it an occasion of happiness.
Responding to opposition remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Krishnam invoked Sanatan Dharma and praised the Prime Minister’s commitment to the nation and religion.
“Just as Sanatan Dharma is eternal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also eternal. Why is he eternal? Because he has dedicated his life to the nation and religion. The Opposition says it will erase Prime Minister Modi. It says Modi will go, and even Modi’s father will go. I want to tell Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi that Modi’s name is not written on sand that it can simply be erased,” he said.
