** “Those who virulently criticise the Hindus will not get Hindu votes” that was the strong message from Mannargudi Poojya Sri Sendalangara Jeeyar, even while performing pravachan on Andal’s Thiruppavai. The Jeer went on: “Every Hindu Household should echo with thirupavai that in the upcoming elections those who demeaned Sri Andal by antagonising her and who aren’t even aware of Hindu culture and criticised Hindus, will never get voted, that should be our solemn oath.”
** Poojya Sri. Sivalingeswara Swamigal of Kamatchipura Adheenam strongly condemned the lowly act Hindu bashing by DMK. It had vilified the sacred the Kandha Sashti Kavacham and has now twisted the lines from a divine Kandhar Alankaram song to suit its electoral campaign. He added, all political parties should confine themselves only to their party’s ideological theories and not to insult or degrade Hindus religious faith and belief. If they keep indulging in such acts , they will have to face “the wrath of Hindus”.He said, the DMK have changed the lyrics, which sings the praise of the Lord Karthigeya, to praise the DMK dynastical heirs.
** At Nagercoil, in a congregation of all Saivite denominations (Sivan adiyaars) headed by Sri Radhakrishnan, an ultimatum was issued to the effect that any party which betrays the Hindus shall never be voted. It was also reiterated that all the temple properties in illegal possession shall be retrieved and given back to the respective temples. Those who speak against the Shaiva religion should be opposed in unison. Those who betray the Hindu religion shall not be elected to power.
Three cascading incidents of Hindu unrest across Tamil Nadu have made the Dravidian political parties to go on backfoot.
DMK is reported to have reined in usual Hindu baiters in its ranks to shut up. TN Chief Minister Edapadi Palanisami hurriedly declared a public holiday for Thai Poosam which falls on January 28 this year. He claims that this was done in response to demands from devotees. He conveniently forgot all the other requests from the Hindu organizations like permission for Ganesh immersion procession; request to open temples for public with safe distancing, etc. To cap it all, even as the police was let loose on BJP’s vel yatra, the CM struck a pose of Mauna Vratam obviously for fear of losing minority votes. Now with the impending elections, he seems to have realised that Hindu votes do matter, as they constitute 80-85% of the total votes.
