Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav consoled his death in a tweet. “All India Akhara Parishad President Pujya Narendra Giri ji passed away, irreparable loss! May God grant the virtuous soul a place at his feet and strength to his followers to bear this sorrow. Heartfelt tribute”.
Late Mahant Narendra Giri had welcomed the Allahabad High Court order to observe the cow as a national animal and had urged the Modi government to frame a law on the same.
