Hyderabad:
The TDP (Telugu Desam Party) today (Nov 22, 2004) described as "hurried" the arrest of Kanchi Sankaracharya in a murder case and said that caution should be maintained in dealing with cases pertaining to prominent persons, including religious figures, "as it involved emotions and sentiments of the people".
"As far as Shankracharya's arrest is concerned, it was a hurried step. The concerned Government should have not done so hurriedly," TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu said.
He said while dealing with prominent personalities, including religious heads of various sects and celebrities, by law enforcing agencies should be done in a transparent manner without hurting their position and status.
Naidu said, "There is a need to protect the sentiments and status of such personalities in probing the matter."
