Mandi (Himachal Pradesh): Puri Peethadhishwar Jagatguru Shankaracharya Swami Nischalanand Saraswati speaking about Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that PM Modi is good at handling international diplomacy. "The Prime Minister is adept in diplomacy. He is achieving worldwide fame due to his diplomacy. But, the Prime Minister is weak on two fronts. The Prime Minister will have to focus on cow protection as well as find out ways to stop conversion of Hindus."
"The Prime Minister have to take steps or come forward for the protection of the cows in the country. It appears that the government's soft approach has been giving direct or indirect encouragement to Hindu conversion," said the Puri seer. Opposing same-sex marriage, Swami Nischalanand said, "Ideals and culture of the country depend on marriage. So, those advocating same-sex marriage are actually trying to destroy the Indian cultural fabric."
