The Tirupati prasadam adulteration issue doesn’t seem to arrest Hinduphobic remarks from Dravidianists and their politicians. Now it is the turn of Naam Tamilar Katchi chief Seeman to trivialize outrage over the mixing of beef fat in Tirupati holy prasadam. Seeman dismissed the Tirupati prasadam contamination issue as exaggerated while mocking Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan’s prayaschittam rituals. He reduced the case to a mere adulteration issue, suggesting that swift action against adulteration should end the matter quickly
He asked news reporters, “Where is Sanatana Dharma coming here? What is the problem here? If I was the Chief Minister, I would have taken action against the one who supplied adulterated ghee and changed the contractor. That is all. But they made it such a big issue. Let me ask you something. You drink milk, you consume ghee, where did it come from, where did the fat come from? You consume ghee and milk, but you say you’ll die if you eat the fat from cows? What is your problem? These people have a theory. If I eat beef, I am low caste, the ones who drink milk are intermediary castes, and the ones who drink cow urine are high caste. Only in India will you see milk is wasted (poured), ghee is burnt, and urine is drunk. You will drink urine but will not consume fat.
You could have finished this issue in a matter of 30 minutes – all they needed to do was test the ghee, punish the guilty, change the contractors, test the purity of the ingredients, and move on.”
In response to a question on what he thought about sprinkling cow urine (gomium) in the Tirupati temple premises as a part of the purification procedure, Seeman said, “Are you people respecting or insulting Perumal? Is He someone who will get defiled/unclean for a laddu? Is this politics? There is something you must learn. Those who do politics with caste, religion, and God are someone who will never think about the people. He doesn’t need that. For a leader who thinks about the land, its people will neither have the time nor the need to think about caste, religion, or God.”
When asked about Pawan Kalyan doing the prayaschittam rituals, he said, “Maybe to reduce weight. It is not nice to see the youth grow like that. If it is about God, he must talk directly. He must say it was wrong to adulterate the ghee. Now Jaganmohan Reddy says we must protest against Chandrababu Naidu’s rule, and Naidu says a Christian mixed the beef fat. What is this?”
The reporter then asked about the alleged adulteration in Palani panchamirtham. Seeman said, “I don’t know.”
The reporter then mentioned the arrest of Mohan G who made the allegations.
Seeman said, “It was only an opinion. They should have proved that it was wrong. Someone said there was a rat and then someone else said there was a cockroach. You mixed with ration rice, which is also adulteration. The jaggery that you gave us during Pongal had insects, it even melted. You even justified it saying anyway for making Pongal, jaggery had to be melted and we are facilitating it for you. It is important to see which issue is important for the people. You must also analyze how problematic it is for the people because of the ones ruling. To hide that, they take up this cause. The DMK government diverted that issue by talking about that boy Vishnu. Like that now it is the laddu. This can be acted on in just seconds. The host should not have asked the question to Karthi. He, very diplomatically said that it is a sensitive issue, and people’s feelings are attached to it and should not be spoken of, the host should have kept quiet, but she kept asking him again and again. Listen to the speech, he did not want to hurt anyone. It is not right to get angered by it. Karthi is not at fault; Pawan shouldn’t get angry for all this.”
