Vishwa Hindu Parishad raised this demand
VHP international general secretary Bajrang Bagra also demanded that all Hindu temples and other places of worship across the country be freed from government control. He demanded legal action against those allegedly involved in desecrating Tirupati temple prasad. “The Tirupati incident strengthens the Vishva Hindu Parishad's belief that government control over temples leads to intrusion of politics. (In government-controlled temples) there are appointments of non-Hindu officials,” he said in a video statement.
Bajrang Bagda said that VHP has been demanding for a long time that Hindu temples and other religious places should not be under government control. He called the alleged use of animal fat in Tirupati Laddu Prasadam an intolerable and disgusting act and said that the entire Hindu society is distressed and saddened by this. Bajrang Bagda said that Hindu society will not tolerate repeated attacks on its faith.
This matter will be considered seriously
Bajrang Bagra said that we are confident that the Andhra Pradesh government and the central government will understand the seriousness of the issue and consider it seriously. He demanded a fair investigation into the Tirupati Laddu insult case and legal action against those involved in it.
Vinod Bansal has also given a big statement
VHP national spokesperson Vinod Bansal also demanded that the Tirupati temple and all other temples across the country be freed from government control. “Tirupati temple alone is not under government control. More than four lakh temples in states across the country are under government control,” he said. When asked to comment on the issue, he told PTI, “Our stand on this issue is clear that governments should hand over temples and their properties to Hindu society. The real trustees of temples are Hindus, not governments.” Bansal said the VHP would soon launch a major campaign against government control over Hindu temples and other religious places.
