Seer On Cow Protection Yatra Won't Be Allowed To Enter Meghalaya

Members of groups opposing the yatra said they don’t want anyone dictating their food habits. Having faced opposition in Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati Maharaj, popularly known as Jagadguru, will not be allowed to land in Meghalaya after protests over his cow protection yatra, sources have told NDTV. The Shankaracharya was expected to reach Meghalaya as part of the ‘Gau Dhwaj Sthapana Bharat Yatra’ – which advocates banning cow slaughter – on Saturday but sources said the state government has decided to inform the Airport Authority of India not to allow his chartered plane to land. Members of several groups had already reached the Shillong airport on Friday after getting news that the Shankaracharya would land that day
