New Delhi – Advocate Manish Kumar had posted a video on X, showing priests of a temple fighting over distribution of donations. It was a fake video. The original incident was from January 2024 which happened in Perumal Temple in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. While bringing the Deity out of the temple for procession, two factions of Iyengars, namely Vadakalai and Thenkalai, had a fight. This proved the video was fake. It was exposed by the Daily Loksatta. When Sanatan Prabhat checked Manish Kumar’s ‘X’ account, it was noticed that there were many anti-Hindu videos, which confirmed that Manish Kumar was an anti-Hindu element. Interestingly, when this video faced opposition, Manish Kumar deleted it.

Editorial Perspective

Every now and then, some issue springs up attempting to create anti-Hindu atmosphere. The Union Government should take stringent action against those who are responsible for this. That is the only solution to control such anti-Hindu elements.
