Vishwa Hindu Parishad expressed anger over Tirupati Laddu Prasadam controversy, said- SC should take suo motu cognizance

Andhra Pradesh: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) held a meeting on Monday in the Tirupati Laddu Prasadam controversy. During this, the organization expressed displeasure. VHP has appealed to the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognizance of the allegations of adulteration in Tirupati laddus and start an investigation to find out the culprits. This decision was taken in the meeting of the Central Guidance Board of VHP held in Tirupati.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu recently alleged that the previous Yuvajana Sramika Raithu Congress Party (YSRCP) government in the state did not even spare the Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple and used substandard material and animal fat to make Tirupati laddus, famous for their unique taste.

In a press release, VHP said that the Supreme Court should take suo motu cognizance of the matter and investigate it within a stipulated time frame and identify the culprits of this unpardonable crime and give them severe punishment. It said that there is no room for negligence and delay in this matter, because if this happens, then the members of the Hindu community, who are already impatient over this matter, can start a nationwide agitation.

Hindu community shocked by allegations and counter-allegations

According to the VHP, the Hindu community is shocked by the allegations and counter-allegations made by the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the opposition YSRCP in the southern state against each other in the last four-five days over Tirupati laddus.
