Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Tuesday lashed out at his critics for finding fault with him for raising his voice against adulteration of Tirupati laddus. He also warned that attacks on Sanatana Dharma will not be tolerated.

Making it clear that he would not keep quiet over the attacks on Sanatana Dharma, the actor-politician also slammed actor Prakash Raj saying secularism is not a one-way affair.

The Jana Sena chief was talking to media persons after purification rituals at Kanaka Druga temple here as part of his 11-day Prayaschita Deeksha (penance) over the alleged presence of animal fat in the ghee used for making laddu prasadam of Tirumala temple.

Pawan Kalyan questioned those criticizing him for undertaking deeksha and for speaking out against the adulteration and also cleaning the temple steps as part of the purification ritual.

“Why should I not speak out? Should I not speak when my house is attacked,” he asked.

While many termed him a protector of Sanatana Dharma, for carrying out the deeksha, Kalyan had war of words with actors Prakash Raj, Karthi over the controversy.
