He said that threats do not affect me. I keep getting threats. The government has to take steps on this. 

Shyam Manav said, I have got Y plus category security earlier. Threats don't affect me. I urge the truth. I have welcomed Ramkatha, but Dhirendra Pandit is spreading superstition. Shyam Manav said that Pandit Dhirendra Shastri claims divine power. This is a kind of fraud. Prove divine power in a safe environment at Dhirendra Maharaj Nagpur. He said, I did not oppose religion, I oppose cheating in the name of Divya Shakti. Let us tell you that the Superstition Eradication Committee had accused Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of witchcraft and spreading superstition. Dhirendra Krishna Shastri was accused of promoting witchcraft under the guise of Divya Darbar and Pret Darbar.

What did the committee allege? 

Two laws are violated in the meeting called 'Divya Darbar' by Dhirendra Shastri of the Maharashtra Superstition Eradication Committee. Those laws are Maharashtra's Anti-Witchcraft Act, 2013 and the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act, 1954. The committee has also demanded police action against Dhirendra Shastri. The organization works against superstition in Maharashtra.

It was made in the year 1989. It was founded by Narendra Dabholkar. He was murdered in the year 2013. According to this organization, its job is to work against 'superstitions' that mislead people. Its purpose is to propagate the scientific approach.
