A video showing spiritual preacher Dhirendra Shastri arriving in Chhattisgarh via government aircraft, accompanied by a state minister, has ignited a political controversy. The footage also shows an on-duty police officer touching Shastri's feet, drawing criticism from the Congress for alleged misuse of public funds and questioning the preacher's status. The BJP defended the officer's action as personal faith and accused the Congress of opposing Sanatana Dharma. Social media users are divided, with some criticizing the use of state resources and uniform ethics, while others defend the officer's blend of duty and devotion.
