00:00Madurai's Thirupara and Kundram Hillshine is witnessing 10 scenes over Karti Gayad Deepam.
00:06A political war of words has exploded between the DMK and the BJP.
00:10On camera, protesters had sharp verbal altercation with Tamil Nadu police
00:14after being stopped from lighting the Deepam at the ancient hilltop stone pillar or the Deepathone.
00:20In spite of citing court orders, a lone woman was seen lighting their lamp outside a closed temple after police denial.
00:26This has triggered sharp outrage.
00:29Protesters alleged double standards by the Stalin government,
00:33claiming that authorities allowed rituals and the bull-drawn chariot procession
00:37for the adjoining Hazrat Sultan Sikandar Badusha Darga while blocking the Karti Gayad Deepam.
00:43Officials say permission was granted for the Darga's flag hoisting and festival till 6th January.
00:51Presidents ask why block the Deepam but allow other rituals.
00:54This led to late-night high drama and showdown at the Holy Shrine in Madurai.
00:59It's very, very clear that any order is appealable.
01:06An order by a single judge is not final.
01:09So we have appealed that order.
01:10We are not agreeable to that order, and that order is erroneous.
01:14That is why we have appealed, and we have to await the orders from the appellate court.
01:19And let us not forget what Mr. Amitsha had said.
01:22In matters of religion, courts should not pass orders which could not be implemented.
01:26In Samarimala, the Supreme Court said women should be allowed.
01:31But BJP protested against that.
01:34They said court should not be interfered in religious matters.
01:37So when it suits them, they will want to follow the orders.
01:40When it doesn't suit them, they will say these orders should not be followed.
01:43This is the duplicity of the BJP.
01:45And they want to change.
01:48They want to change the peaceful atmosphere of the state of Tamil Nadu.
01:52They want it to become a violent place where people clash on the basis of religion,
01:59which our chief minister, Mr. M.K. Stalin, will not allow.
02:03The evil design, the evil intentions of the BJP, the RSS,
02:08will not be allowed to be carried out in the state of Tamil Nadu.
02:12Judiciary's decision on the verdict is final and binding upon everybody.
02:15But Tiruparam-Kundram issue is not an issue with respect to two religions
02:20and an issue with respect to Tamil Nadu.
02:23Tiruparam-Kundram issue for DMK is the only hope for Uday Nidhi to win.
02:29So they have narrowed it down in such a way,
02:31they have cleverly strategized in such a way that
02:33just by appeasing one section of the people,
02:36the prospect of Uday Nidhi winning if he contest in Chepak is brighter.
02:40So that is a clear indication and that is clearly the government reveals its anti-Sindu mindset.
02:49Repeatedly we were telling about that.
02:51And the chief minister is conveying that BJP is doing divisive politics,
02:56but clearly the CM is doing, the government is doing divisive politics.
03:00It is not that BJP were opposing.
03:02You would have seen from yesterday the poor ladies from the local area,
03:06they were fighting and they were asking the cops,
03:09why didn't you allow us to light the lamps?
03:12But you are allowing the Tandoori program for the minorities.
03:16But it is not dividing.
03:18The government itself is dividing.
03:20People were almost staying very friendly
03:24and the government very in a biased manner,
03:28highly condemnable, and we are giving protection for them.
03:31And in this same hillock where both the gods are there
03:35and for one god and for one section of the religious people,
03:41totally biased activities in spite of the court order.
03:44In spite of the court order.
03:46You know,
