JOIN USAn one-time Narendra Modi supporter, the self-styled godman Asaram Bapu in a recent satsang has asked the Gujarat government to stop atrocities against his followers.
“If these are not immediately stopped, they’ll be thrown to such a place, from where it will not be possible to return,” Asaram said in his speech in Godhra.
The latest provocation seems to have come from the people of Junagadh, who had recently burnt his posters and made it known if he tries to hold his satsang in Junagadh, his programme will be disrupted.
Following the incident, the district administration had declined him permission to hold his programme in the district. The Prajapati community in Junagadh was demonstrating because of the death of two boys in his Motera Ashram under mysterious circumstances in 2008.
Asaram and his son Narayan Sai, who are accused in the case have been constantly refusing to appear before the justice (rtd) D K Trivedi Commission, which has been probing the case.
