Akhilesh Yadav, the head of the Samajwadi Party, sparked a political tempest on Friday when he compared the mafia to “mathadheesh.” BJP officials called Yadav’s statement an insult to Sanatan Dharma.

In response to Yadav’s statement that “there is no difference between Hindu Seers and Mafias,” BJP leader Shehzad Poonawala said that the INDIA bloc was deliberately insulting Sanatan Dharma in order to win over more votes.

“After the DMK mistreated Sanatan and the Congress called Hindus dangerous, the Samajwadi Party, which massacred Ram Bhakts, now claims that Mathadish people are like the Mafia! What about other religions? Can they say this? “Hindu Astha Ko Do Gaali, Votebank ki Milegi Taali” is the only agenda item of the INDI Alliance.

What Was Said About Seers by Akhilesh Yadav?
“There is no one who does not know that fake encounters are taking place and murders are being committed under the Bharatiya Janata Party government,” Mangesh Yadav said during a news briefing in Lucknow about his latest encounter in Sultanpur. Uttar Pradesh is now known as the epicenter of phony encounters because to the BJP’s many false encounters.Mathdeeshon aur mafia mei zyada fark nahi hota (Hindu seers and mafias are the same thing).

Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak escalated his attack on the Samajwadi Party, claiming that the party supports the mafias in the state of Uttar Pradesh. They are unaware of the distinctions between mosques, temples, and monasteries. The Samajwadi Party strives to keep the mafia safe whenever it gains authority. These are the folks that recite prayers at the mafia tomb.

Additionally, State Minister Sanjay Nishad pointed a pistol at Yadav while defending the Yogi Adityanath-led UP administration by claiming that Akhilesh Nishad was slain in an encounter under the Samajwadi Party era.

“Those who make such remarks are demeaning Sanatan, as are those who pay respects to mafia cemeteries. Politicizing the courts and police is inappropriate. Akhilesh Nishad was also assassinated by the police under the Samajwadi Party regime, according to the UP minister.

Seers Disapprove of Akhilesh Yadav’s Remark: The seers expressed disapproval of the bold comparison of their group to criminals. “Highly condemnable” was how Mahant Durga Das of Shri Panchayati Akhara Udasin Nirvana described Akhilesh’s comments.

“Everyone has a place; all saints are the leaders of the monastery. In Sanatan Dharma, the leader of the monastery is likened to God. It is a sign of shallowness to associate the head of the monastery with the mafia, he remarked.

Following the Ram Rath Yatra in 1990, Karsevaks were shot at, according to Mahant Yogesh Puri Maharaj of the Shri Mankameshwar Temple in Agra.

“Akhilesh need to examine himself first if he believes that the leader of the mafia and the head of the monastery are interchangeable. How did he do it? Whose dad had shot the Karsevaks with bullets? Whose ministers disparage Ram in a variety of ways? What his intentions are regarding the monastery are clear to everybody. May knowledge come to him from God.
