Minister Giriraj Singh stated that no one can dare to stop Bageshwar Dham's chief Dhirendra Shastri from landing in Bihar's Patna for a religious programme. Recently, the district administration denied Shastri permission for holding an event in Patna's Gandhi Maidan. "The state government...gave space to...[Muslims] for prayers during Eid, but it has denied space to a Hindu saint," Singh said.
