by Samajwadi Party chief
Akhilesh Yadav
at Uttar Pradesh's Etawah.
Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad
president Mahant Ravindrapuri said by building a temple in Etawah as a replica of the 12th
Jyotirlinga
situated in the Himalayas in Uttarakhand, Yadav has hatched a "big conspiracy" against
Sanatan Dharma
and to belittle the importance of the centuries old Himalayan temple.

The Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad is with the
Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee
and the priests on this issue and strongly condemns this act of Akhilesh Yadav, he said.
Instead of replicating Kedarnath, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister should build another temple dedicated to lord Shiva, he said.

Mahamandaleshwar Swami Lalitananda Giri also said that the construction of
Kedareshwar temple
in Etawah is wrong.
A temple of Lord Shiva under any other name can be built anywhere but building a temple anywhere else in the name of the 12th Jyotirlinga is wrong, Giri said.
Earlier, an attempt was made to build a temple on the lines of Kedarnath in Delhi but the idea was dropped after vehement protests from the priests of Kedarnath.
