Invited as the chief guest on the last day of the event, Zubeen Garg was awarded the prestigious title of ‘Sangeet Sindhu’ by the Satradhikar of Garhmoor Satra.
However, during his acceptance speech, Gregg made comments that ignited controversy.
He expressed his reluctance to address the Stradhikars as divine beings, stating, "Common people refer to satradhikars as Lord. This is not acceptable at all. Krishna was never God… He was a man."
Garg’s comments evoked strong reactions within Satrapeeth Majuli and on social media platforms.
The video went viral on social media and gained many views and opinions.
In response to the backlash, the artist admitted his mistake and published an apology.
Nevertheless, many in Majuli question Garg’s suitability as an artist, debating whether he has the necessary qualities expected of a man in his role.
