PRAYAGRAJ: He added that these enemies of the nation could only issue futile threats, but they know that if they attempt to target the fair, they will be hunted down wherever they hide in the world.

Maurya assured that no attacks, whether by air, ground, or water, are possible due to the foolproof measures in place to ensure a safe and secure religious gathering.

Speaking as the chief guest at the Kumbh Conclave organised by Hindustan newspaper at the Allahabad Medical Association (AMA) auditorium, Maurya shared his experiences, mentioning that he had worked as the organisation secretary of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) for a long time. He had the opportunity to serve and take blessings from saints during several Kumbh and Ardha Kumbh events in Prayagraj.

At the Hindustan Divya Mahakumbh 2025 Conclave on Friday, Maurya highlighted that the fair is a perfect example of Samrasta, with an estimated 40 to 50 crore devotees expected to bathe in Sangam waters without any discrimination of caste or creed.
