Digha Jagannath Dham controversy takes a serious turn

Puri, May 14 (UNI) The controversy surrounding the Digha Jagannath Dham has intensified following recent revelations by Premananda Das, Director of Communications at ISKCON.
In an interview with the media in Bhubaneswar on Tuesday, Premananda stated that Ramakrushna Dasmahapatra, the Secretary of the Daita Nijog of the Sri Jagannath Temple in Puri—currently suspended by the temple administration for one month—is a member of the Digha Jagannath Dham Trust.
Premananda clarified that ISKCON has no involvement in naming the Digha temple as "Jagannath Dham." He emphasized that ISKCON has only been entrusted with performing religious services at the temple, and that one of its devotees was included as a member of the trust.
