Person like Badruddin Ajmal should never be invited to sacred stage of Srimanta Sankardeva: Assam CM

Digital Desk: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma speaking at the 93rd Annual Session of Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha in Rangia on February 11 presented a heartfelt plea pointing out that those with beliefs contradictory to the core of Srimanta Sankardeva should never be invited onto its noted platform.

Sarma expressed his deep concerns, saying that "people like Badruddin Ajmal should never be invited to the pure stage of Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha." He brought up in his address how much troubled he was by situations in which people like Ajmal were invited to the sacred platform.

Sarma stated, "My heart screams loudly inside. The person who does not know how to treat women with respect, the person who believes that women should always wear burqas, and the person who believes that women are nothing more than machines when it comes to bearing children are not the people who belong on the platform at Srimanta Sankardeva events."

Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha is an organization that is devoted to spreading Srimanta Sankardeva's spiritual teachings and cultural legacy. The Chief Minister's statements struck a chord with this group.

Expressing appreciation and reaffirming government support, Sarma acknowledged the critical role that Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha had played in protecting Assam's cultural legacy and promoting education. He went on to say, "Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha should never worry about any support, be it financial."

 

The cornerstone of Assam's socio-religious fabric, the Srimanta Sankardeva Sangha was founded in 1930 and is known for promoting education and cultural preservation while upholding the teachings of Madhavdev and Srimanta Sankardeva.
