T.N. Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister P. K. Sekarbabu on Monday, January 22, 2024, alleged that the BJP wanted to continually paint a wrong picture about the State government.
Responding to the charges leveled by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on restrictions on the conduct of special pujas and annadhanams in temples, Mr. Sekarbabu said this was an attempt to mix politics with spirituality, and as far as the government was concerned there was no interference whatsoever in the conduct of temples.
“At a time when the consecration of the temple at Ayodhya was taking place, a very senior Minister in the Union Cabinet chooses to be present in Tamil Nadu. The intention is obvious: they [the BJP] want to mix politics with spirituality. They want to constantly paint a wrong picture about this government. It is very unfortunate that such a senior member of the Union Cabinet is issuing such statements,” he said.
