Acharya Dhierndra Shastri, the Peethadhishwar of Bageshwar Dham on Wednesday participated in India TV's special show 'Satya Sanatan Conclave' regarding the grand religious event Mahakumbh in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Shastri said he is working on a sacred mission to make India a Hindu nation. He also asserted that his initiatives aim to unite the nation. Our goal to make India a Hindu nation will not be achieved by an armed struggle but with ideological revolution. Shastri said that the flag of Sanatan will fly in the country. He said that this country belongs to Ram, not Babar.
Extending his support to the demand to ban Muslim traders in Mahakumbh 2025, he said those who are known for spitting and urinating (on food items) must be banned. Shastri asked will they (Muslims) allow Hindu traders in Mecca and Madina, Hindus are also poor.
If a Hindu nation is formed then the Waqf Board will also end, he said. Shastri stated that till now there were talks of AI but now I would talk about HI. HI means the Hindutva Intelligence. HI is divided into four sections - Intellectual Hindus, Businessman Hindus and united Hindus.
He said that India would become Vishwaguru only through the battle of ideologies. Shastri asserted we do not have to make people disciples in the country but gurus. The day people become gurus, that day India will become Vishwaguru.
The whole world is our family but those who destroy the country are neither ours nor yours, Shastri said, adding he wants to remove hatred in the name of caste.
Responding to the question related to Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat on temple-mosque row, he said everyone has the right to express his opinion. He said so maybe because politicians stay around him, Shastri added.
On the question related to saffron-clad people in power, he said why can't saffron-clad people stay in power? Saffron is not a cloth but an ideology.
On the question of Prime Minister Narendra Modi doing the consecration of Ram temple, he said that the prime minister did the right thing by doing the consecration. On the question of caste census, he said that there should not be a caste census in the country. If there are two castes in this country, rich and poor, then the condition and direction of the country will change.
