SAS Nagar, May 2 - For some time now, the number of beggars roaming in the guise of fake sadhus has increased considerably in our city. These beggars who roam in the guise of sadhus often wear black, orange, sadhu-colored, blue or green cholas or some even wear colorful clothes. They also tie a parna of some color on their heads.
These fake sadhus These fake sadhus-like beggars roam around in various markets of the city all day long and try to mislead people by stopping them and asking them for money. As long as people do not give them alms, these fake sadhus keep following people.
These fake sadhus are often in the number of two or three and in the markets they often try to surround people from all sides. These fake sadh-like beggars also beg forcibly from people sitting in vehicles parked in market parking lots and do not leave the car passengers until the car passengers give them money in alms.
These fake sadhs do not take five or ten rupees as alms, but demand from one hundred to five hundred rupees. Many fake sadhs also go to the houses of city residents and often trap women who are alone in their houses during the day. These fake sadhs take money from women on the pretext of traveling, making a new chola, setting up langar and many other things.
The city residents are very upset with these sadh-like beggars, but they are not suggesting any solution to this problem. The city residents often refuse to give alms to ordinary beggars, but these sadh-like beggars do such things that many city residents are forced to give alms to these fake sadhs even without wanting to.
The common people of Punjab, however, give great respect to real saints and saints and also pay homage to their religious places and deras. Religious leaders say that real saints never ask for anything from anyone, it is far from being a matter of begging from people.
Real saints do good to the world and instead of asking for anything from people, they try to give something to them. For this reason, the people of Punjab give great respect to saints and saints, but some beggars, imitating real saints, openly beg in the city in the guise of saints, which is a matter of great concern.
In this regard, social worker leader Karan Johar demands that the administration should investigate these fake saints. He says that there may be some criminals or anti-social elements in their guise, who can cause some unpleasant incident in the city.
