Dhirendra Shastri’s Stance on Non-Hindu Entry to Maha Kumbh प्रयागराज महाकुंभ में गैर हिन्दुओं का प्रवेश वर्जित कर देना चाहिए। तुम्हें कथा, हिन्दुत्व, सनातन, राम से लेना देना नहीं तो तुम्हारा वहां क्या काम?- धीरेंद्र शास्त्री pic.twitter.com/rbKSTSStRs— Sachin Gupta (@SachinGuptaUP) November 3, 2024 In the viral video, Dhirendra Shastri passionately stated his views on restricting Maha Kumbh entry to Hindus only. While speaking with journalists, he said, “Those who do not understand Sanatan traditions or respect saints have no place here.” According to Shastri, some individuals openly oppose Sanatan values. He cited incidents of Hindu processions being attacked and idols disrespected as evidence of this opposition. The video was uploaded by X user Sachin Gupta, who captioned it: “Entry of non-Hindus should be banned in Prayagraj Maha Kumbh. If you have nothing to do with Katha, Hindutva, Sanatan, Ram, then what business do you have there?” Shastri also referenced incidents, like the recent "spit incident," as further reasons why non-Sanatan followers should be kept out of the Maha Kumbh. He argued that such actions display disrespect toward Hinduism and justify banning those who oppose Sanatan values.
