The Bageshwar Dham Shastri controversy heated up after Purnia MP Pappu Yadav made sharp remarks about spiritual leader Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. The comments came during a media interaction in Patna and quickly drew public attention. The Bageshwar Dham Shastri controversy began when reporters referred to Shastri as a religious narrator.
Reacting strongly, Pappu Yadav said people were “making a thief a narrator.” He questioned why such individuals receive public platforms while respected saints remain ignored. His statement triggered debate across political and religious circles.
The MP stressed that India has a rich spiritual tradition. He named figures like Lord Krishna, Guru Nanak, Gautam Buddha, and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar as true guides. He urged people to respect genuine saints instead of promoting controversial personalities.
Dhirendra Krishna Shastri heads the Bageshwar Dham Sarkar in Madhya Pradesh. He is known for large religious gatherings and bold statements on social issues. His speeches often spark discussion and criticism.
The remarks by Pappu Yadav added a political angle to the issue. Supporters and critics shared strong reactions on social media. The controversy once again raised questions about faith, influence, and responsibility in public life.
