“The action of authorities is unreasonable and appam production should not have been stopped when the Makaravilaku festival is progressing. The prasadam is prepared by rice bought by devotees and there is no need to doubt it’s quality,” he told reporters here on Tuesday.
The minister said that food safety officials had some suspicion and the temple special commissioner acted immediately and stopped distribution of appam.
The High Court would be informed about the seriousness of the situation, he added. Appam and aravana payasam are the two major kinds of prasadams devotees can collect from Sabarimala Temple.
