Sabarimala Gold Donation Recorded: Union Minister Suresh Gopi Backs TDB Members

• Union Minister Suresh Gopi stated that gold contributed for the Sabarimala flag mast was scrupulously recorded.
• His statement comes after the Kerala High Court ordered a probe into alleged misappropriation of gold and money in 2017.
• Gopi defended the then Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) members, saying donations were made in a 'religious atmosphere'.
• He mentioned that he and other devotees, including Mohanlal, contributed gold, which was then placed on the flag mast.
• Gopi emphasized that the flag mast change was based on 'devaprasnam' and carried out under an advocate commissioner.
