VHP slams Achuthanandan for remark on Royal House head


Wednesday, August 24, 2011: VHP slammed CPM leader VS Achuthanandan for his comment against the head of the erstwhile Travancore Royal family that he had attempted to remove priceless articles from the Sree Padmabahaswamy temple.
“Devotees should not give any importance to such comments from an atheist,” VHP International President Ashok Singhal told reporters at the airport last night.
The kings, who ruled the land for several years, had preserved the temple treasures even at their time of difficulties. The huge volume of treasure discovered in the temple vaults was a real pride of the country, he said.
The former Kerala Chief Minister had said there had been complaints that the present head of the royal house Uthradam Tirunal Marthanda Varma had attempted to remove temple wealth in small quantities while returning after daily worship.
