Listen to Story Vadodara-based fashion designer and influencer Archana Makwana, who surrounded herself in controversy after she performed yoga at the Golden Temple in Amritsar on June 21, has called for cancelling the complaint against her. In an Instagram post, Makwana, who was also provided police protection in the wake of death threats received by her, said the people who watched her in person performing yoga at the place were not offended. She also said one of those who clicked her pictures was a Sikh.
"When I was doing Shirshasana on 21st June 2024 at Golden Temple Amritsar 1000 of sikh people were watching me not one person stopped me or raised an objection on it. Infact the Gentleman who took my photo was a Sardarji himself he didn’t find it offending , he didn’t stop me from doing it, the people who were watching it Live weren’t offended then I am wondering how come it’s wrong & how has it hurt someone’s religious sentiments ?" (sic), Makwana's post read. "The local people who come to temple everyday don’t know the rules , then how can they expect a Hindu Girl travelling for the first time to Punjab know the rules , specially when no one stopped me," she added.
"All this is baseless , I don’t know what is the propaganda of the SGPC TRUST but I feel victimised. The F.I.
R against me needs to be quashed because The F.I.R doesn’t have any base , it’s just that because the SGPC COMMITTEE didn’t disclose the true facts to the police they accepted it.
