Union Minister and BJP Telangana President G.Kishan Reddy rift condemned the attack on the chief priest of ChilukurBalaji temple Rangarajan by some fanatics. “I strongly condemn the attack on RangaRajan, the chief priest of ChilukurBalaji Temple.
He has renounced his high positions and has been serving with dedication for the preservation of sanatan dharma by providing spiritual guidance to the devotees and following the highest religious values. This inhuman attack on such a respectable priest is condemnable, painful and unfortunate,” he said in a statement.
Reddy said that In a democracy, there was no place for such acts of violence, intimidation and physical attacks and added that It was not just an attack on an individual, but an attack on sanatan dharma.
He said that Rangarajan was giving spiritual direction to the youth and students without any profit motive and added that he had been at the forefront of preserving temples, Indian culture and traditions, and preserving the heritage and sanctity of temples. “This should be strongly condemned by everyone in the society.
The concerned authorities should take strict action against those responsible for the incident. I demand that such incidents should not be repeated in future. I appeal to the BJP to stand by Rangarajan in every possible way,” he said .
