Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday likened the Waqf Board to land mafias after claims that the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj is being held on a waqf property.
Adityanath, while speaking at an event of a private news channel here, also said that anyone from any religion “who respect India and its eternal traditions” are welcome to attend the Maha Kumbh, according to an official statement.
“The Mahakumbh is being organized in a sprawling area of over 10,000 acres, with designated pandals and separate parking facilities covering more than 5,000 acres,” he said.
