SP Swami was served the notice by Botad collector Rajkot: Botad district collectorate issued an externment and a show cause notice to Gadhada-based sadhu of Swaminarayan sect, SP Swami, asking him to explain why he should not be externed from the six districts. The notice follows the ongoing rift between the two groups of Vadtal division of Swaminarayan sect — Acharya Paksh and Dev Paksh — of which, S P Swami belongs to the former group. The rivalry between the two groups originates from their aim to take control of various temples of Swaminarayan temple and the acrimony often turned bloody too in the past.
