Andhra Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan Announces New Janasena Party Wing To Combat Disrespect Of Sanatana Dharma

Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Janasena Party chief Pawan Kalyan has announced the formation of a new party wing, the Narasimha Varahi Brigade, dedicated to protecting Sanatana Dharma.

"I respect all religions, but I stand firm on my faith. Those who criticise Sanatana Dharma on social media or speak disrespectfully about it will have to face the consequences. Thus, I am establishing a dedicated wing within our party named the 'Narasimha Varahi Brigade' for the protection of Sanatana Dharma," Kalyan said, Hindustan Times reported.

Kalyan's announcement comes after recent allegations regarding the use use of adulterated ghee in the prasadam at the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala.

Kalyan had last month called for a stringent national legislation to protect Sanatana Dharma and prevent actions that disrespect its beliefs.

During the Varahi Declaration in Tirupati, he said, "A strong national Act is needed to protect Sanatana Dharma and prevent harm to its beliefs. This Act should be enacted immediately and enforced uniformly across Bharat."

Kalyan suggested the creation of a Sanatana Dharma Protection Board at national and state levels to monitor the enforcement of this law, with dedicated funding for its activities.

He also emphasised the importance of Sanatana Dharma Certification to ensure purity in materials used for temple offerings and prasadam.
