Bhopal: The ‘Sanatan Hindu Ekta’ march, led by Baba Bageshwar Dham head priest Dhirendra Shastri, is witnessing a widespread response. People from various sectors, including politicians, are actively joining and endorsing the march, highlighting its broad appeal and significance.
Shastri’s padayatra (foot march), which started from his Ashram (Bageshwar Dham) in Chhatarpur district on Thursday, will conclude on November 29 after covering 160 km at Ram Raja temple in Orcha in Tikamgarh district of Bundelkhand.
Politicians associated with both state ruling BJP and Opposition Congress are joining Shastri’s march. Madhya Pradesh BJP chief and Khajuraho MP V. D. Sharma participated in the march on its opening day on Thursday and stated that Shastri’s yatra will bring the Hindu community together.
Former Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh’s son and Congress MLA Jaivardhan Singh also joined the padayatra on Friday. During an interaction with the media persons, former minister and Raghogarh MLA Jaivardhan Singh said he has been visiting Bageshwar Dham for the last four years to seek Dhirendra Shastri’s blessings.
Jaivardhan Singh added that he belongs to a family that has always respected saints and priests. “My family has always followed the path of Sanatan Dharm, and we will continue to follow it,” he said.
He further asserted that religion is a personal matter for everyone. “I personally believe that religion and politics should be kept separate,” he said.
Interestingly, while Jaivardhan Singh participated in Dhirendra Shastri’s ‘padayatra’, senior Congress MLA Phool Singh Baraiya criticised the head of Bageshwar Dham.
