BJP alleges Conversion attempt at TTD Shrine
Tirupati – On 14th November, P Bhanuprakash Reddy (BJP Spokesperson) expressed outrage at the alleged attempt to convert at Skanda Pushkarini of Venugopala Swamy Temple in Karvetinagaram of Chittoor District. The Temple is administered by Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).
Addressing media after visiting Pushkarani, Bhanuprakash demanded that the TTD and Police identify the pastors who tried to convert people and take appropriate legal action against them.
He suggested that penal action be taken against the pastors as per GOs 746 and 747 for violating the sanctity of religious places. He demanded a comprehensive security audit of all TTD and Hindu shrines. Stringent security measures must be ensured, so that public order is not disrupted and communal harmony preserved. (It is outrageous that pastors are going around converting Hindus openly. Leave alone action, very few Hindus protest against this act which is against our Constitution. – Editor)
