"Known for temple city and emotional integration, Mathura Vrindaban has suffered abad name recently. It is unfortunate there was enchroachment in land of Gopal. The worst part of it was that it finally lead to killing of people," Naik said at a programme organised after renovation of a temple in Vrindavan.
He said the details of the incident would be revealed after a through enquiry, which is underway.
Naik also assured the organisers of Mahasamprekshan Pratistha Mahotsava organised in Radha Nivas Vrindaban that he would see that plan if something is to be added to the syllabus of Sampurnanand University.
Terming Sanskrit language as the soul of the country, he said "Supremacy of cultural thoughts of the country has been established all over world since the culture of India is great."
Earlier, he attended a religious program in Hasanand Gochar Bhumi, established by Madan Mohan Malviya in 1935.
Naik said that cow slaughtering may be stopped by existing laws.
"Slaughtering of the cows may be prevented if anti-cow slaughtering law is implemented in letter and spirit. He suggested people to cooperate in it," he added, stressing that India may then realy become agricultural country.
