The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) has appealed to the Supreme Court to take suo motu cognisance of Tirupati laddu adulteration allegations and launch a probe to identify the culprits.

As per PTI report, The Kendriya Margdarshak Mandal of VHP met at Tirupati and took this decision. It was attended by VHP’s international secretary Bajrang Bagra and other pontiffs.

VHP’s decision comes in the wake of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu recently claiming that the previous YSRCP government did not even spare Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple and used substandard ingredients and animal fats for making the popular Tirupati laddus, known for their unique taste.

Further, it noted there is no room for negligence and delay in this matter as such a scenario could result in nation-wide agitations by Hindu community members, who are already impatient over this issue.

According to the VHP, allegations and counter allegations of the ruling NDA and opposition YSRCP in the southern state over the past 4-5 days on Tirupati laddus have caused immense consternation in the Hindu community.

Meanwhile Former BJP Rajya Sabha MP , Subramanian Swamy has approached the Supreme Court regarding the Tirupati Temple laddu issue.

Swamy has filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), seeking the constitution of an independent committee under the supervision of the apex court to investigate the allegations of the use of animal fat in making the laddus served at the Tirupati temple.

Subramanian Swamy took to X  and said, “Today I filed a PIL seeking Supreme Court direction to investigate the unsubstantiated allegations by CM Chandrababu Naidu that the Tirupati Tirumala Temple prasad was adulterated with animal meat and other rotten items, creating chaos among the devotees.”
