00:00But speaking of Tiruk Parankundram, we've seen a lot of developments taking place.
00:04It's been the flashpoint of controversy.
00:06And again, there was a huge issue that was raised.
00:10You had, in fact, demonstrators accusing the Stalin government of double standards,
00:14noting that the rituals and the bull-drawn chariot procession were permitted at the Dargah, right next to the temple.
00:20And that led to late-night tension at the shrine, triggering a political war of efforts.
00:30Madurai's Tiruk Parankundram hill shrine witnessed 10 scenes over Kartikai Deepam.
00:49Protesters argued with the police after being stopped from lighting the Deepam at the ancient hilltop stone pillar,
00:55called the Deepatun, despite citing court orders.
01:03Finally, a woman lit the lamp outside the closed temple after police denied.
01:14Protesters allege double standards by Stalin government,
01:17claiming authorities allowed rituals and the bull-drawn chariot procession
01:22for the adjoining Hazrat Sultan Sikandar Badusha Dargah while blocking Kartikai Deepam.
01:29The face-off led to late-night drama at the Holy Shrine.
01:35A war of words between the DMK and NDA has erupted over Kartikai Deepam celebrations.
01:40They want to change, they want to change the peaceful atmosphere of the state of Tamil Nadu.
01:49They want it to become a violent place where people clash on the basis of religion,
01:56which our chief minister, Mr. MK Stalin, will not allow.
02:00The evil designs, the evil intentions of the VJP and the RSS
02:04will not be allowed to be carried out in the state of Tamil Nadu.
02:08Tiruparam-Kundram issue for DMK is the only hope for Uday Nidhi to win.
02:14So they have narrowed it down in such a way,
02:16they have cleverly strategised in such a way that
02:19just by appeasing one section of the people,
02:22the prospect of Uday Nidhi winning if he contests in Chapak is brighter.
02:27The Madras High Court had earlier directed the lighting of the lamp,
02:30but the state government challenged the decision, citing law and order concerns.
02:38Tiruparam-Kundram Rao has once again been ignited after government permits
02:42Sandhanakudu Vida at Sikandar Darga over the particular hill.
02:47However, now locals are questioning that on one side,
02:50when the lamp lighting on Deebathun was not allowed,
02:53how could the government permit this for which the government claims
02:56that this is being done as per the tradition
02:59and the main matter is yet being contested in the court.
03:03With Irfan, promote modern for you today.
