According to reports, Dhirendra Shastri of Bageshwar Dham will be a organising a public event on March 18 and 19 at Mira Road in Mumbai.
"Superstition has no place in our state; Maharashtra has also passed such a legislation," Patole wrote in a letter to CM Shinde.
"Maharashtra is a state of progressive ideas. If Dhirendra Shastri's program is permitted in Mumbai, it can mislead people and will amount to playing with their emotions and beliefs.”
