Pawan Kalyan has demanded the formation of a Sanatana Dharma Protection Board at both national and state levels, following the Tirupati Laddu prasadam controversy.
Key Demands:
- Establish a national and state-level “Sanatana Dharma Raksha Board”
- Create a strong national legislation to protect Sanatana Dharma
- Allocate annual funds to support the board’s activities
- Implement Sanatana Dharma certification for temple offerings
- Ensure non-cooperation with organizations that defame Sanatana Dharma
Specific Objectives:
- Protect religious practices
- Prevent actions harming religious beliefs
- Develop temples as centers of:
- Spiritual growth
- Education
- Art and culture
- Economic development
- Environmental conservation
Context:
The demand emerged after allegations of animal fat adulteration in Tirupati Laddu prasadam, which Pawan Kalyan strongly condemned. He declared himself an “unapologetic Sanatani Hindu” and emphasized the need to protect religious traditions.
Pawan Kalyan also announced the formation of a ‘Narasimha Varahi Brigade’ within his Jana Sena Party to further support these objectives[1][2][3][4].
