I feel pity to people who take swords without understanding the situation. Most people make comments with a prejudiced mind, and the typical indian mind is such, they try to understand things only after they act. 20% knowledge and 80% action is what leading Indian people.
In this particular situation, what Tantri said is 100% correct. Being an obedient and satvic person, He has to follow the rituals and it's the rituals that's most important. Rituals can be changed provided there is consensus, in this case, it's the Govt to take action which the honourable Tantri said, whatever be it, He'll abide by it. He's to obey the rules and what's wrong in this?
