Many controversial Fatwas on Sankardev Sangha families cominginto the limelight and brought dilemmas in the society.
The Sangha had landed into controversy after one of its unitsbanned a family from associating with it for starting a pig farm at Ghahigaon underGohpur subdivision.
The Sangha hascome under the attack of media and various civil society organizations, due tothe controversial Fatwas which they issued from time to time. But, Sangha frontal bodies denied theexistence of any such rules.
After Gohpur, many cases had come out in almost every corner of the state. Two youths of Kaki (Lanka, Nagaon) also faced such rules regarding establishment of broiler farm or piggery.
