After the two deaths of the environmental saints in Uttarakhand associated to Haridwar’s Matri Sadan Ashram namely swamy Nigmanand and Swamy Gyanswaroopa Sananda who’d undergone 115 n 112 days hunger strike respectively demanding cleaning of the polluted Ganges as well as immediate stoppage to its mining , Ganga’s tributaries Alaknanda and Bhagirathi including clousure of its policy to built big dams in the Uttarakhand Himalayas, the government of Uttarakhand and the centre do not want to take any further chance of such tragic deaths which has cause uproar and outrage at the national as well as the global scenerio bringing bad name to both the state as well the union government for being anti environment n anti people. And as such the Uttarakhand police and the hospital authorities under the instructions from the higer ups have arrested the new saint Gopal Dass of Matra Sadan who is also on incessant hunger strike fro the last more than three months and now given up the intake of water as well. Swamy Gopal Das has continued his fast at Matri Sadan since the day eminent environmentalist Dr. GD Aggrawal aka Swamy Swaroopa Sananda gave up his life after 112 days of hunger strike. Just today the local police under the instruction from the Haridwar administration has forcibly lifted Sant Gopal Dass from Matra Sadan Ashram and ferried him to the AIIMS for treatment as his physical condition is reported to have deteriorated. It has been given to understand that saint Gopal Dass who had been in hunger strike for several days on the same demands of late saints Nigmanand and late Swaroop Sanand was forcibly addmitted in AIIMS few days ago sent back to Matri Sadan after force feeding etc but the former had again given up water creating complications in the health condition. It has been revealed that the local police and the SDM n the SHO of Kankhal police station alongwith a battery of doctors had arrived at Matri Sadan where the saint was on hunger strike n a day after took him back to the hospital. The local administration has clamped 144 around the Kankhal area to avoid any untoward incident. There have been immense resentment in the Sant Samaj as well as in the society for forcibly harrassing the peaceful saint who had himself expressed his annoyance and protest for not allowing him to fast which is his fundamental right. The SDM Manish Singh says that in view of the deteriorating health condition of Saint Gopal Dass it is their bounden duty to ensure his well being as he has now also given up the water intake. It may be recalled that soon after the sad demise of Swamy Swaroop Sanand aka professor GD Aggrawal after his 112 days fast several union ministers especially the former environment minister and a veteran journalist Jairam Ramesh has expressed his immense shock n anguish over Aggrawal’s sad demise saying that had the government been interested to fulfil his genuine demands or look into them the life of this environmental saint could have been saved. Similarly the former UK CM Harish Rawat and the entire state Congress have deplored the sorry death of this environmental saint and blamed the BJP government for being deliberately careless on this count as both the saints fighting for the noble cause of Ganga’s purification died during theor rule one in 2011 n another in 2018. This incident had allegedly brought bad name n disrepute to the ruling political dispensations of the state as well as the centre. Now the government is too serious and sensitive on this front and would not like to repeat the past mistakes again. Hence the boldness on the part of the government to ensure that Saint Gopaldass’s fast is broken n remains hale and hearty.
