Haridwar, September 20 (HS). The issue of adulteration of Tirupati Balaji temple's prasad with animal fat has become a hot topic. Haridwar's saints are angry over the prasad controversy. The saints of the holy city of Haridwar have called it unfortunate and have demanded a high-level investigation into the matter.

Akhada Parishad President and Mahanirvani Akhada Secretary Mahant Ravindra Puri said that finding animal fat in the Prasad is an attack on the sentiments of the followers of Sanatan Dharma. People from all over the world come to see Lord Venkateswara, so he demands from the Andhra Pradesh government and the central government to immediately limit the quantity of Prasad made there and also demanded a high-level investigation into this.

Mahamandaleshwar Swami Rupendra Prakash of Panchayati Bada Akhara said that this is a big conspiracy to defame Sanatan Dharma. He demanded from the government that the case should be investigated and the culprits should be given the harshest punishment. He said that not only Jagan Reddy but also the officials associated with the temple trust are guilty in this case.

Kali Sena chief Swami Anand Swaroop said that this is a very shameful incident. The government should take strict action against all the then members and officials of the trust. Along with this, Baba Hathyogi Maharaj condemned this act and said that it should be freed from government control.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu said that during the Jagan government, animal fat was used in the Laddu Prasad prepared in Tirupati Balaji temple. The report of NDDB Calf Lab has confirmed the presence of animal fat in the ghee used during the YSRCP rule. After this report, there is an uproar in the country. The saint community has demanded a high-level investigation in this matter.
