TTD chief says only Hindu staff In Tirumala, but Centrewants non-Muslims In Waqf boards: Owaisi
Hyderabad: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the newly announced Hindu-only staff policy at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). Owaisi pointed out that while TTD insists on employing only Hindu staff, the NDA government seeks to induct non-Muslims into Waqf Boards. He labelled this as a double standard, questioning the differing rules for Hindu and Muslim institutions.
In a post on X, Owaisi stated, "Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams' chairman says that only Hindus should work in Tirumala. But Modi government wants to make it mandatory for there to be non-Muslims in Waqf Boards & Waqf Council. Most Hindu Endowment laws insist that only Hindus should be its members. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander, no?"
The new TTD chairman, B R Naidu, announced on October 31 that all employees at Tirumala, the abode of Lord Venkateswara, should be Hindus. He indicated plans to consult with the Andhra Pradesh government on how to address staff members of other religions, suggesting they could be reassigned to different government departments or offered Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) options.
