When Swami Gowdananda mentioned Guru Shankaracharya while giving his information, Mahant Sudhirdas mentioned that many Congress leaders flocked to him.

The police marginalized both groups. The meeting adjourned without any decision. Meanwhile, after all these arguments, Godapremi Dewang Jani mentioned that we have apologized to Swami Govindananda for what happened.
