Stating that the self-respect of the Hindus has awoken with Narendra Modi becoming the Prime Minister, Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati on Sunday said that he is not against the Prime Minister but an admirer of him. Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand said that it is the only Prime Minister Modi who has stood strongly with Hindus since India achieved independence.
“The truth is, with Narendra Modi becoming the Prime Minister, Hindus’ self-respect has awoken. This is not a small thing. We have said several times publicly that we are not anti-Modi but Modi’s admirers. We admire him because no other Prime Minister in independent India has been so brave. Someone who stands firm for the Hindus? We are not criticising anyone but he is the first such PM who supports Hindu sentiments,” Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand said.
