After Kerala’s temple board, Travancore Devaswom recruited 36 non-brahmins including 6 Dalits as priests for their temples, a lot of political leaders including MK Stalin and Vaiko have voiced their support. Actor Kamal Haasan, who has been expressing his political intentions in the recent days, said that the appointment of non-brahmins as temple priests is a welcoming move. The actor took to Twitter and thanked the CM of Kerala for the same.
திருவாங்கூர் தேவஸ்தானத்தில் பிராமணர் அல்லாத அர்சகர்கள் நியமனம். நன்றி கேரள முதல்வருக்கும் தேவஸ்தானத்துக்கும். வைக்கம் வீரர்க்கு வணக்கம்.
