Ajendra Ajay, committee president of Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath temple, rejects allegations.
The committee president has refuted all claims of a gold scam made by Swami Avimukteshwaranand, Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath, who has claimed that 228 kg of gold were stolen from the Kedarnath Temple. Ajendra Ajay said that the spiritual leader’s statement on Kedarnath Temple had been very unfortunate and stated to ANI, “I respect Swami Avimukteshwaranand but he keeps holding press conferences throughout the day…Stoking controversy, create sensationalism and being in the news is a habit of Swami Avimukteshwaranand.” He said that the priest’s comments on Kedarnath were part of a Congress agenda and even urged Swami Ji to stop hurting the dignity of the Kedarnath Temple.
Shankaracharya’s claims of a gold scam.
While addressing the issue of the new temple in New Delhi, Swami Avimukteshwaranand claimed that there was a gold scam in the existing Kedarnath Temple, which had not been investigated. He said, “After doing a scam there, now Kedarnath will be built in Delhi? And then there will be another scam. 228 kg of gold is missing from Kedarnath… No inquiry has started. Who is responsible for this? To this, the Temple Trust President called these claims as baseless and asked Swami Ji for evidence, asking him to go through legal channels than create controversy.
The Temple Trust President said, “I urge him as well as challenge him to bring to light facts and evidence. He should go to authorities, present them the evidence and demand an investigation. If he doesn’t trust a capable authority, he should approach the Supreme Court, High Court, file a PIL and demand an investigation if he actually has evidence.”
