'Shankarcharya' Avimukteshwaranand row: Ayodhya GST deputy commissioner quits in support of PM, CM; breaks down in tearful video

A senior UP tax officer resigned Tuesday, citing deep hurt over Swami Avimukteshwaranand's remarks against PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and CM Yogi Adityanath. This move counters a protest exit by another officer, sharpening a standoff linked to the seer's Magh Mela protest over alleged obstruction and a notice regarding his Shankaracharya claim.
