Was Narendra Giri, President of Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad and Mahant of Baghambari Mutt, murdered in his Mutt three days ago or did he die by suicide under some pressure?

Was Narendra Giri, President of Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad and Mahant of Baghambari Mutt, murdered in his Mutt three days ago or did he die by suicide under some pressure? This question can only be answered by the investigating government agency and the state police. But the inner world of self-proclaimed babas associated with some of the country's controversial ashrams and deras have been quite terrifying. Some of them are now in jail for various criminal offences. After all, why did many such religious camps and deras become the sites of extremely irreligious and inhuman activities? Is there no need to reform the entire system of such deras and ashrams? Economic reforms are taking place in the country, some administrative reforms have also been done and now the government is claiming reforms in agriculture. Why then does the government not initiate democratic religious reforms? In this new episode of #AajKiBaat, senior journalist Urmilesh analyses the issue in a detailed manner.
