Beltangady, Oct 24: A controversy had been kicked up in the media over Karnataka chief minister, Siddaramaiah, visiting Lord Manjunatheshwara temple at Dharmasthala after eating meat. The chief minister had retorted that the Almighty had not instructed anyone not to eat non-vegetarian food before coming to temples.
Even as the issue is receiving lot of reactions both positive and negative, personal secretary to Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari, Dr D Veerendra Heggade, M V Shetty, has sought to put to end to it.
Shetty has clarified that the temple does not have any rule which prohibits people from eating meat before entering temple. One hopes that with this clarification, the controversy stands addressed.
