Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan had said that he would do 11 days of penance to please Lord Venkateswara for the alleged adulteration of Tirupati laddu with animal fat.

Pawan Kalyan retorted to this and said, Prakash Raj, I respect you. But when it comes to secularism, it should be mutual.

Why is he criticizing me, I have talked about Sanatan, I have not insulted any religion.
