New Delhi: Congress leader Pawan Khera on Sunday called for a fast-track inquiry into the alleged use of 'animal fat' prasadam for Sri Venkateshwara Swamy Temple in Tirupati.
"It is very surprising that the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Executive Officer, appointed by Chandrababu Naidu's government, contradicts the claims of adulteration in the prasadam. This kind of atmosphere is bad for the faith of crores of devotees. A fast-track inquiry should take place and the strictest punishment to the guilty must be meted out," Khera said.
