Keep Gods away from politics: Supreme Court on Tirupati laddu Issue

The Supreme Court of India has emphasized the need to keep Gods and religious matters away from politics, especially in sensitive cases like the Tirupati Laddu row. The court made these remarks during a
hearing related to allegations concerning the famous Tirupati Laddu, which is offered as prasad at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD).

The Supreme Court of India recently made a strong appeal to keep Gods and religion away from politics, particularly in light of the ongoing controversy surrounding the Tirupati Laddu. This sacred offering,
given to devotees at the Tirumala Tirupati temple, is deeply cherished by millions of followers of Lord Venkateswara.

The court was responding to petitions related to the matter and expressed concern that political figures and those in constitutional positions should avoid making comments that could hurt the religious sentiments of the people. With an investigation still ongoing, the Supreme Court stressed that such remarks could inflame emotions and potentially create unnecessary tensions.

By urging political leaders to handle religious issues with care, the Supreme Court is reminding everyone that matters of faith should be treated with respect and kept separate from political agendas. This is
an important step in preserving the sanctity of religious practices and ensuring that religion is not misused for political gain. The court’s message is clear: respect people’s beliefs, and let faith remain a personal and sacred matter, untouched by politics.
