Swami Avimukteshwaranand emphasized the values of the Hindu religion, particularly the concepts of 'Punya' (virtue) and 'Paap' (sin), and categorized betrayal as one of the gravest sins. He stated that their pain over the betrayal would persist until Thackeray was reinstated as Chief Minister.
The Hindu leader also reflected on the sanctity of religious sites, criticizing the notion of replicating the Kedarnath Temple in other locations, such as Delhi, and underscoring the importance of preserving the authenticity of the twelve Jyotirlingas. He also highlighted an alleged scam involving 228 kg of gold in Kedarnath, calling for accountability and action.
The visit and the Shankaracharya's statements come at a time of heightened political tensions in Maharashtra, with Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena faction remaining vocal about various issues. Since Thackeray's ouster as CM by the BJP, which led to the division of the Shiv Sena into two factions, Uddhav's faction, along with that of the Congress and the NCP, swept the Maharashtra Lok Sabha polls, emerging as favourites to win the Assembly election in the state, slated to happen later this year.
Swami Avimukteshwaranand's support for Uddhav Thackeray could be seen as a significant endorsement, potentially impacting the political scene in Maharashtra.
