Amid the ongoing Shankaracharya controversy, Prashant Kumar Singh, Deputy Commissioner of GST in Ayodhya, has resigned from his post in support of the Uttar Pradesh government. He quit his job in protest against the statements made by Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand.
Explaining his decision, Singh said that government officials are not robots and cannot remain silent when the government they draw their salary from is being targeted. He stated that Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand has been making baseless allegations against the Chief Minister, and remaining quiet in such a situation was not acceptable to him.
