The old case when Swaminarayan sect claimed in court that they are not Hindu

According to a BBC report, the Swaminarayan sect once claimed in court that they were distinct from Hinduism. This discussion resurfaced following an incident at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, where female staff were removed during a visit by a delegation from the BAPS organization.

According to a BBC Hindi report, an old legal dispute involving the Swaminarayan sect has come into focus. In this case, representatives of the sect argued in court that they do not belong to the Hindu religion. This legal debate was centered on the sect's distinct identity and beliefs.

Recently, this topic returned to the headlines when a delegation of about 100 people associated with the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) visited the Eiffel Tower in Paris. During this visit, female employees were removed from their workplace.

According to the report, this incident has sparked public discussion regarding the sect's operations and their approach. However, this is not the first time the BAPS organization has been at the center of controversy or discussion.

Between the old statements made in court and the recent Paris visit, people are raising questions about the sect's religious status and their conduct. The BBC report highlights the sect's stance by connecting these two events.

From time to time, claims regarding their religious identity have been made by the sect. The old statement given in court is considered a part of this sequence.

Since the Paris incident, debates have intensified on social media and other platforms. People are curious as to why a religious organization made such a claim in court.

In its report, the BBC clarified that this information has emerged in the context of the sect's old legal documents and the recent Paris visit. The organization has provided its own interpretations on these matters from time to time.
