After a long legal battle, the supreme court had honorably acquitted Shankaracharya considering him innocent.
He said that this incident has also been mentioned by former President and late congress leader Pranab
Mukherjee in his book (The Coalition Years 1996-2012). pranab mukherjee has written that he had raised this
issue in the cabinet meeting and asked the question to prime minister Manmohan Singh along with the UPA
government whether the scale of secularism in the country is limited only to Hindu saints and mahatmas? Can the
police of any state show courage to arrest a Maulvi on the occasion of Eid?, on which the entire cabinet remained
silent.
Neither will we forget the insult nor will we let it be forgotten
Swami Akhileshwaranand Maharaj said that on the occasion of this sad coincidence, all of us Sanatani have taken
a pledge that no one should ever have the audacity to harass any of our supreme religious leaders in this manner.
Therefore, Sanatani will not forget this insult of Brahmalin Shankaracharya, nor will the sages and saints let anyone forget it.
Congress candidate accused of hypocrisy in the name of Sanatan
Jabalpur mp and bjp candidate from West assembly seat rakesh singh also held congress responsible for this
incident of insult to Sanatan tradition saint Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati. He said that jayalalitha had done
this act during the entire UPA government. That is why the saints have also put congress in the dock. Sant Samaj
is asking the question that how does congress stand with those who call Sanatan as leprosy, scabies, dengue and
malaria? During this, rakesh singh also accused congress candidate tarun Bhanot, who was contesting against
him, of hypocrisy in the name of Sanatan.
