Earlier on Wednesday, the Opposition criticised the government in Parliament for the use of Army for a private event.
The government, however, defended Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and said he was committed to protect the environment and that his intensions cannot be doubted. The government also claimed that the event is being organised with all permissions.
