“Mahakumbh stampede victim’s bodies thrown into river”, claims Jaya Bachchan.

Jaya Bachchan, former actress turned politician known for her vocal opinions, is in talks for her new controversial statement. The Samajwadi party MP spoke to reporters outside the parliament on Monday, where she claimed “Where is water contaminated right now? It’s in Kumbh. Bodies have been thrown into the river because of which water has been contaminated”. She also lashes at the management of the yogi government for Kumbh by stating – “the common people visiting Kumbh are not receiving any special treatment, there is no arrangement for them. They are lying that crores of people have visited the place, how can such a large number of people gather in that place at any given point?”

Last week, at least 30 person were killed in a stampede that broke out at the Kumbh as scores of devotees turned up for the second Amrit Snan on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya at the Sangam. The incident raised question on the management and authorities.

Parmarth Niketan Ashram President Swami Chidanand Saraswati reacts to Jaya Bachchan’s remarks on Mahakumbh stampede. “I don't like to answer political questions but this thing is not political, this is about the country. Pollution issue has been raised. Prayagraj is the most polluted place at the moment. I think Prayagraj has become the biggest district, city in the world as of now. Prayagraj has become the connector that links everyone. Such a huge celebration where foreigners are also visiting. Crores of people are coming here. More than 33 crore devotees have come here but not even 3300 VIPs were among them. The water of Sangam is not polluted.”

“As far as the question of bodies is concerned, we should avoid these things - at least now. People from England and America came to me, they told me that they were present there when this incident occurred, they saw it all. They said that they really appreciate the Police of India that they maintained their calm, didn't run away and worked towards saving people, that they risked their lives and worked day and night, they too are humans." he added.
