Tirupati: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Thursday said that the Tirupati laddu adulteration case is an attack on Sanatan Dharma in the last five years. This case is just a drop in the ocean, there are many such decisions of the previous government which are yet to be investigated.

Pawan Kalyan, who reached Tirupati temple, said in a public meeting, "Sanatana Dharma is not like a virus that will be wiped out. Whoever has said this, I want to tell him that you cannot wipe out Sanatana Dharma. If anyone tries to wipe out Sanatana Dharma, then I say this at the feet of Lord Balaji - you will be wiped out yourself."

Targeted Udhayanidhi Stalin

He said this in response to the recent statement of Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin. The Jana Sena chief, while explaining the need to make a law in the country to protect Sanatan Dharma, said that a Sanatan Dharma Raksha Board should be formed and it should have adequate funds at the national and state level. He said, "I say in very clear words that I am a Sanatani Hindu and I am not ashamed of it. People like you will come and go, but Sanatan Dharma will always remain. It will never stop. It is beyond this."

The previous government was heavily targeted

Before the hearing of the case in the Supreme Court on Friday, Pawan Kalyan said that he wants to tell the court that there are many cases going on against Jagan including corruption and this should also be considered before giving any decision. He said that there is only a drop of adulteration in Laddu Prasadam. We do not know how many crores of rupees he has collected in the last five years, which should be investigated.

He is trying to act innocent- Pawan Kalyan

He further said that the people of the country should know what the previous government and its leader were like. He is trying to act innocent. He said that he is not accusing YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of adulteration in laddus, but the previous board of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD) formed in the previous government.
