Abu Dhabi [UAE], September 19 (ANI): Swami Brahmaviharidas, head of the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi, welcomed the decision by the United States Department of Justice and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey to close their investigation of BAPS and the creation of BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham.
Speaking with ANI ,Swami Brahmaviharidas said some people with “vested interest” had levied the false accusations and added that this decision restores faith in justice.
“Satyamev Jayate! We build a temple with love, faith, devotion and a spirit of volunteerism… Some people with little vested interest file false accusations regarding when the temple was built, craftsmanship,” Swami Brahmaviharidas said.
“The US government carried out an investigation into the temple for 4 years and finally closed it, saying no charges were ever filed and no charges were ever true. This restores faith in justice,” he added.
