Letter plea seeks SC’s intervention in Tirupati laddu controversy

The Hindu  

A letter petition was addressed to Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud on Friday seeking the immediate intervention of the Supreme Court in a controversy surrounding allegations that “non-vegetarian products” were used in the preparation of the laddus during the previous Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Trust management. The petition filed on behalf of Suresh Chavhanke, Editor-in-Chief and Managing Director of Sudarshan News, said the issue was of “profound national and religious importance that affects the religious sentiments of Hindu devotees across India and worldwide”. The petition, represented by advocate Satayam Singh, said the alleged act violated the fundamental tenets of Hindu religious customs, infringed the right to freedom of religion enshrined in Article 25 of the Constitution and cuts a deep gash in the sentiments of countless devotees who regard the preparation of prasadam using vegetarian ingredients as a practice essential to the faith. “This egregious violation at the Tirumala Tirupati Balaji Temple is not merely an isolated incident but a symptom of a larger, systemic issue plaguing the management of our sacred institutions.
