Taking a very serious tone, the spiritual guru characterized as Narayan Sakar Hari Bhole Baba of U. P, who had forced entry into public life, has shown a state of deep depression over the sad and unpleasant event at Hathras Stampede in which the unfortunate deaths of 121 devotees were reported on 2 nd July.
Speaking to the media after the sad event, Bhole Baba responded by saying,
“Now we are in deep depression about the incident. We have to stay away from our comfort zone, but suffering is part of life—who can change fate?”
The godman’s comments are said and done now, following the terrible occurrence that has caused uproar throughout the country. Mentioning the incidents of stampede, different eyewitnesses have pointed towards the possible use of ‘poisonous spray’ that precipitated the stampede, and thus, Bhole Baba goes on to hint at a possible ‘conspiracy’ behind the episode.
Responding to the allegations, the godman said that some people wanted to malign our organisation’s spiritual activities. Still, he put his faith in the SIT and the judicial commission probing the matter.
Currently, the Uttar Pradesh government has formed an SIT and a judicial commission to find the truth and bring any accomplices involved in the unfortunate incident to justice.
Though Bhole Baba’s name was not written as an accused in the FIR lodged at the Sikandrarau police station, the SIT’s report has blamed the event organisers for the fiasco that claimed so many lives because of their inability to regulate the crowd properly.
Families of all the people who lost their lives in the incident and everyone connected to them, Bhole Baba assured and stood with them.
That tragic stampede during the ‘Satsang’ of Bhole Baba in the Sikandararu area of Hathras has created many inquiries about safety and crowd control measures on spiritual and other such eventful assemblies.
The nation still waits for investigations that would bring closure and give the families a chance to learn what actually happened at the Hathras Stampede.
