The shocking set of facts that are being unearthed regarding the Tirumala Laddu issue, including the contaminated ghee are leaving the entire Hindu community distraught. This has now initiated a serious reaction from deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, who has called for the establishment of Sanatan Parirakshana board.
In his elaborate statement today, the deputy chief minister pointed out that for the global Hindu community, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam is more than a pilgrimage center, it is a sacred spiritual sojourn. The Tirupati Laddu is not just a sweet but it is a shared emotion as we distribute it among friends, family and strangers alike, for it embodies our collective belief and profound faith.
On average, nearly 2.5 crore devotees visit Tirumala every year. And when the sentiments and practices of Sanatanis are mocked or undermined, it is not merely hurtful, it shatters the trust and devotion of millions around the world, Kalyan stated.
Then came the big bold statement from Kalyan as he called for Sanatan Parirakshana board by saying secularism must be a two-way street and protection and respect for our faith cannot be negotiable.
Our Sanatana Dharma is one of the oldest and ever-evolving civilizations and it’s high time we establish the Sanatana Dharma Parirakshana Board with the consensus of all the stakeholders, Kalyan stated.
The recent investigation on the Tirumala Laddu issue appears to have instigated this fierce reaction from the DCM as he is concerned about the upholding of the Sanatani spirit to the degree that he has called for a board to oversee the matter.
