RamnathKOvind on Tirupati Temple Prasad Controversy: Former President Ram Nath Kovind has given his reaction on the ongoing controversy over the Tirupati temple's Prasad. He has described the adulteration in the Prasad as extremely worrying. He said during a program on Saturday that after this incident came to light, doubts have been raised on the faith of Hindus towards Prasad. The former President further said that a very worrying news has been coming out for the last three-four days. Although I lived in Banaras, I could not have darshan of Baba Vishwanath. But some of my companions went for darshan. From there, they gave me Baba's Prasad, as soon as that Prasad came in my hand, I suddenly remembered the Prasad of Tirupati temple. I am not the only one who has unwavering faith in Prasad. But the case of adulteration that has come to light has been described as a sin in Hindu scriptures.
Let us tell you that after the case of adulteration of Tirupati temple's prasad with animal fat came to light, the central government has sought a report from the Andhra Pradesh government. In this matter, Union Health Minister JP Nadda also spoke to CM Chandrababu Naidu. He also said that action will be taken against whoever is found guilty in this case.
Fish oil was also used in making offerings
A recent report has revealed that beef fat and fish oil are being used while making prasad in Tirupati temple. This has been revealed in a report related to the investigation of the prasad of Tirupati temple. The special thing is that in this case, a few days ago, Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu had alleged that during the previous government, animal fat was used instead of ghee in making the prasad of Tirupati temple. In view of these allegations, samples of prasad from the temple were sent for investigation. Now the report of this investigation has come. The report revealed that animal fat was used in it.
Former CM retaliated
Responding to CM Naidu's allegations, Jagan Mohan Reddy's party YSRCP said that Chandrababu Naidu's statement regarding Tirupati temple's Prasad is extremely absurd. One should think before making such allegations. His statement has proved that Naidu will not step back in politics.
