Devkinandan Thakur
Next year, the grand Kumbh event will be held in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, after 12 years, but this time the saints have raised the demand that Muslims be banned from the Kumbh Mela. In this regard, we spoke to Devkinandan Thakur, five editors of TV9 Bharatvarsh, who attended the programme. He responded on why it was necessary to ban entry of Muslims into the Kumbh Mela.
Devkinandan Thakur was asked if the decision to prevent Muslims from entering the Kumbh Mela 50 kilometers away was necessary. He replied that such scenes have preceded us. There is no doubt about the type of videos that have appeared. If people of their religion (Muslim) also watch those videos, they will not like to deal with them. Yes there are really good people.
“Muslims must do their job”
He further said, “There are some people who say he is not spitting. Saying your prayers. I don’t know anything about this, but one Maulvi ji said that in his religion he makes everyone eat and drink only by spitting. When asked if there are Muslim artisans providing their services for many works in the program, will entry be closed to all? About this he said that he (Muslim) should do his job. “Don’t give up on us.”
To what extent and how will you stop?
TV9 editor Bharatvarsha asked him what sneakers he wears. Who finished it, the chair you are sitting in, the car you came in. What country is the gasoline in? The fruit you offer to Thakur ji. What garden does it come from? The air from India reaches Lahore and the air from Lahore reaches India. Who, to what extent and how will we stop them?
“Kumbh is a word related to religion”
Responding to this, he said, “When I wear these clothes, there is also a method to do so. I don’t have a problem with who sewed it, but when I use it, I use it with the proper method. Secondly, Kumbh is not a fair. Kumbh is a word related to religion. Kumbh is not a fair where we get together and do. That is the theme of Dharmacharya. Purity is taken care of there, people who have no faith in idol worship and earn money from that place, then one should ask Maulvi if that money will be Halal or Haram.”
