Tirupathi is the most holy shrine for hindus across the world. However for the last few years attempts have been made to limit the sanctity to just two of the seven shrines. When this has been opposed Govt backed off in the assembly. But even then there are reports of propoganda by other religious groups especially christians in Tirumala and some even getting caught selling liquor and non veg. Some people were caught propagating christianity in Tirumala temple premises too.
According to the latest it was reported that a mysterious woman Nowhera Shaikh is starting Heera International Islamic College-Women's Arabic College. This made residents of Tirupathi and Tirumala angry. They say “The Islamic university coming up at Tirupati is a hidden motive to destroy Hindu culture and temples. Babur came to India and built the Babri Masjid near Ayodhya, Aurangzeb built mosques near Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Mathura's Lord Krishna temple. We will not allow this to happen in Tirupati,”
Some claim “There are hundreds of local Muslims who worship at the Lord Balaji Temple everyday without fail. For them, the temple is part of their life and heritage. They are afraid that Islamists from West Asian nations would try to enforce Shariah law in Tirupati and that could lead to serious social problems,” Seers who took a protest thundered that if Govt don't demolish the university, they themselves will do. They wondered why Govt is silent even when collector asked to demolish it.
