He condemned the alleged insult to Lord Hanuman in Gujarat saying it does not behove a saint to show disrespect to any deity of any religion.

Akhara Parishad general secretary Shri Mahant Rajendra Das said some people were mistaken that Sanatan is weak.

"But don't mistake our tolerance for our weakness. The day sanatanis rise there will be no room left for the irreligious. Hindus have always believed in vasudhaiv kutumbakam. But if our gods and goddesses are insulted, Hindus will not hesitate in giving a fitting reply," Das said.
