Recent controversy

The Naga sadhus of Hanuman Garhi temple and the saints of Ayodhya are outraged over Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Tirath Kshetra Trust general secretary Champat Rai’s alleged remarks that “it remains to be seen who has the guts to stop” Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray from visiting the holy city.

In a video recording leaked on WhatsApp in 2020, Champat Rai, who is also the vice president of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), is heard making the remarks.

Rai should not have made such a statement, according to Mahant Kanahiya Das, the chairman of the Ayodhya Sant Samaj. “He should think carefully before speaking,” Kanahiya Das said. “In Ayodhya, Uddhav Thackeray and the Shiv Sena are no longer welcome.” The Shiv Sena is no longer the same as it was under Balasaheb Thackeray, the party’s founder.”
