The Storm over a Famous YouTuber’s Video at Jagannath Puri Temple

The recent uproar sparked by a video featuring Kamiya Jani, a well-known YouTuber, has embroiled the BJP in controversy. Allegations have arisen against Kamiya Jani, accusing her of hurting Hindu sentiments by consuming beef and questioning her entry into the revered Jagannath Puri Temple. This has also drawn criticism against Bijju Janata Dal’s leader, V.K. Pandian, for supporting Kamiya Jani’s actions. Let’s delve deeper into who Kamiya Jani is and what actions have led to demands for action against her.

Unraveling the Furor around the ‘Mahaprasad’ Video at Puri Temple

A rapidly circulating video on social media depicts Kamiya Jani alongside BJP’s leader, V.K. Pandian. This video allegedly portrays the testing and discussion of the ‘Mahaprasad’ at the Jagannath Puri Temple.

Allegations of Beef Consumption Against Kamiya Jani

However, BJP has countered these actions, claiming that Kamiya Jani not only consumes beef but also promotes its consumption. Questions have emerged about how someone who indulges in such practices gained entry into the sacred 12th-century temple. Jatin Mohanty, the Odisha BJP General Secretary, revealed that a video was created by VK Pandian, along with Kamiya Jani, showcasing them tasting the ‘Mahaprasad’ at the Jagannath Temple, despite Kamiya’s prior video evidence of consuming beef.

Demanding Kamiya Jani’s Arrest: Why?

It has been asserted that those who consume beef are not permitted to visit the Jagannath Temple. There is a demand to press charges under IPC Section 295, citing the insult of religious sentiments. If Kamiya Jani is not apprehended, legal actions are threatened.

Who is Kamiya Jani?

Kamiya Jani is a renowned YouTuber and social media influencer, known for her channel ‘Curly Tales’ with nearly 3 million subscribers. She holds a substantial following on Instagram as well. Amidst the escalating controversy surrounding the Jagannath Puri Temple, Kamiya Jani vehemently denied consuming beef, emphasizing her reverence for Jaganath.

Temple Administration’s Response to the Controversy

Contrary to the accusations, the Shri Jagannath Temple Administration refuted claims of a YouTuber filming within the temple premises, dismissing them as baseless allegations. They have urged anyone possessing evidence to come forward for investigation, promising suitable actions against the guilty.

This contentious issue has entangled a prominent YouTuber in a web of allegations, sparking a clash between political entities and temple authorities. The repercussions of this controversy are yet to unfold, as the calls for accountability intensify.
