January 23, 2014
Senior priest of the Dwarka Shradha Peeth Shankaracharya Swami
Swaroopanand Saraswati is caught in a controversy after he slapped a
media person, reports
CNN-IBN.
Swaroopanand Saraswati had been vocally critical of the BJP's
decision to project a PM candidate. He had said in Jabalpur that the prime minister should be elected by MPs.
"I slapped the journalist because he kept on asking about
Narendra Modi. An effort is being made to keep Modi in the news, whether
it be by getting people to praise him or insult him," Swaroopanand
Saraswati said.
