Hours after the first meeting of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust in Delhi to work out modalities of temple construction, the Digambar Akhara has objected to the exclusion of Yogi Adityanath from the trust.
Yogi Adityanath, apart from being the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, is also the head of the Goraksh Peeth in Gorakhpur and previous heads of this Peeth — Mahant Digvijaynath and Mahant Avaidyanath — have played crucial roles in the Ayodhya movement.
The Digambar Akhara Chief Mahant Suresh Das that the Nath sect (to which the Goraksh Peeth belongs) had made immense contribution in the temple movement and deserved to have a representation in the temple trust.
