In the context of Kalyan's comments, he specifically called out Prakash Raj, suggesting that discussions around secularism must consider the sentiments of all communities. He emphasised that the pain felt by devotees should not be trivialised, urging for respect and understanding across religious lines. Pawan, who is also the chief of the Jana Sena Party, made headlines for his vocal defense of Sanatana Dharma, stating that attacks on his religious beliefs will not be tolerated.
He criticised people for their responses to his penance over the laddu issue, emphasising that his concerns are rooted in faith rather than political motives. Kalyan's remarks reflect a growing sentiment among some Hindus who feel their religious practices and sentiments are under threat.
