Kumbh Mela 2025: In the Mahakumbh of Prayagraj in UP, where saints were demanding a ban on the entry of Muslims and they are appealing not to give work to Muslims in the fair, today Niranjani Akhara, avoiding this issue, gave entry to the band of Muslim community in its Peshwai Cantonment entry Shobha Yatra.

Most of the band parties involved in the procession belong to the Muslim community. The owner of Azad Band involved in the procession says that he always works in the procession of Niranjani Akhara. He says that Niranjani Akhara gives him work in every Kumbh and Mahakumbh.

Who had said that Muslims should be banned from Maha Kumbh?

The issue of banning the entry of the Muslim community in Maha Kumbh and not giving them any work in Kumbh was raised by many big saints including Bageshwar Baba Dhirendra Shastri. Saints of many Akharas also supported it. However, now with the entry of Muslim band in the procession of Niranjani Akhara, it is clear that Niranjani Akhara has distanced itself from this issue. The saints of Niranjani Akhara say that our opposition is against the fundamentalist Muslims. The rest of the people should work together. There is nothing wrong in this.

CM Yogi is in alert mode regarding Maha Kumbh

It is worth noting that CM Yogi Adityanath himself takes stock of the preparations for the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. Recently, CM Yogi had instructed to get police verification done of all taxi, auto, e-rickshaw drivers operating in Prayagraj before the Maha Kumbh. Along with this, CM Yogi had instructed the UP Police to further improve the intelligence and maintain constant coordination with the security agencies of the central government. CM Yogi had said that in recent times, a big action has been taken against the mafias around Prayagraj, it should be ensured that action against their henchmen is intensified as per the need before the Maha Kumbh.
