Ayodhya GST Commissioner Resigns Over Shankaracharya Row, Cites Hurt by Allegations Against CM, PM

• Ayodhya GST Commissioner Prashant Kumar Singh resigned, stating he was "deeply hurt and pained" by Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand's allegations against CM Yogi Adityanath and PM Narendra Modi.
• Singh claimed his resignation was "in favour of the government and to oppose Shankaracharya Swami Avimukteshwaranand," citing moral responsibilities towards the government.
• A video shows Singh weeping while informing his wife of his decision, stating he couldn't tolerate the "insult of those responsible for my livelihood."
• The controversy stems from the Magh Mela in Prayagraj, where police allegedly prevented Avimukteshwaranand from taking a holy dip, leading to his protest.
• The administration issued a notice to Avimukteshwaranand, questioning his use of the "Shankaracharya of Jyotish Peeth" title due to a pending Supreme Court appeal.
