Content creator Kamiya Jani clears the air over visit to Jagganath Temple after being called 'beef-promoter' by BJP

Content creator and YouTuber Kamiya Jani, who also is the founder of the popular channel Curly Tales, was mired in a controversy recently. She has now issued a clarification about the same. What happened? She recently paid a visit to the Jagganath Temple along with Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader VK Pandian, and the Bhartiya Janta Party raised objections on the same. They called Jani a ‘beef-promoter’ and alleged it was Pandian who gave her access to the 12th century shrine. Indian politician and minister of Rural Development Giriraj Singh wrote on X- “The violation of sanctity in Puri Shrimandir is extremely disturbing. By VK Pandian Allowing a beef promoter inside the iconic Jagannath temple is a disregard for religion, history and spirituality. Immediate and serious action is necessary for those responsible.”

पुरी श्रीमंदिर में पवित्रता का उल्लंघन बेहद परेशान करने वाला है।
वीके पांडियन द्वारा प्रतिष्ठित जगन्नाथ मंदिर के भीतर एक बीफ प्रमोटर को अनुमति देना धर्म,इतिहास और आध्यात्मिकता की उपेक्षा है।
जिम्मेदार लोगों के लिए त्वरित और गंभीर करवाई अति आवश्यक हैं। pic.twitter.com/PEhC4Syb6U

She said, “In the wake of the recent controversy, it is important that I put out real facts and the truth,” she said. “My motive behind going to Jagannath was to seek the blessings of Lord Jagannath and present information about the temple’s infrastructure. I am a practising Hindu. I have never eaten beef, and don’t promote it ever.”
