Peethadhishwar of Bageshwar Dham, Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri has given a statement regarding the Maha Kumbh to be held in Sangam town, Prayagraj. He has supported not giving shops to non-Hindus in Mahakumbh. Pandit Dhirendra Shastri has said: What is your business in my yard? He says those who don’t know Sanatan Dharma, don’t know Hindu religion, don’t have knowledge of Hindu worship, what use are they in this Mahakumbh? In such a situation, when do we know what the pilgrimage priest and the Muslim social worker said?

Some Muslims in Prayagraj expressed displeasure over the statement.
Some Muslim traders in Prayagraj have expressed displeasure over Shastri’s statement. Regarding the statement, he says that he had thought about opening a store in Kumbh, but such things worry him deeply. According to Muslim Irshad Ullah, Dhirendra Shastri and some saints and mahatmas should not speak like this. This country belongs to everyone and everyone lives together here. It is not good for the country to say that many Muslim families serve the devotees who come to the Kumbh Mela.
According to Muslim trader Mohammad Sartaj, we used to participate in Ramlila as traders. The culture here is Ganga-Jamuni and our Muslim brothers set up their tents. Through which his family feeds. Traders from all over the country set up their shops in this Kumbh Mela.
Supported the statement
Pilgrim priest Pradeep Pandey and Muslim social worker MA Khan also support Pandit Dhirendra Shastri’s statement. Pilgrim priest Pradeep Pandey says this demand is absolutely justified. Because non-Muslim people come to the fair, open shops and wear tamasic things. Because this is a great Sanatanis fair. There is no problem with someone coming to visit.

According to social worker MA Khan, this way of thinking of the saints is very good. He has appealed to Muslim traders to stay away from the upcoming Maha Kumbh and even if they want to welcome devotees, they should remove them from the fair area. He has said that when our Hajj takes place in Saudi Arabia, the entry of non-Muslims to Mecca and Medina will be closed. In such a situation this should be understood and Muslims should stay away from this Maha Kumbh.
