Mahakumbh 2025: Akhada Parishad's Exit Sparks Tension at Dharma Sansad Over Sanatan Board | ABP NEWS

At the ongoing Mahakumbh, two key events have grabbed attention. Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to visit the Sangam to take a holy dip, while the Dharma Sansad (Religious Parliament) is convening today. The central issue at the Dharma Sansad is the demand for the creation of a Sanatan Board, a proposal backed by spiritual leader Devkinandan Thakur. He argues that this board would unite and protect Sanatan Dharma. However, the event has faced a setback, as the Akhada Parishad, which initially organized the event, has distanced itself from the gathering. This has led to questions about the legitimacy and success of the event. Despite support from many saints for the Sanatan Board, some leaders like Dhirendra Shastri oppose it, suggesting that India should first become a Hindu Rashtra. The absence of key figures like Shankaracharyas and the Akhada Parishad’s withdrawal raises doubts about the future of the Sanatan Board, creating uncertainty about the outcome of the Dharma Sansad.
