Chennai: Senior BJP leader and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday termed the DMK government in Tamil Nadu “anti-Hindu” for “denying” live telecasting of the ‘Pran Pratishtha’ ceremony of Ayodhya’s Ram temple.
Sitharaman said that the “the repression saga in Tamil Nadu continues”. In a series of posts from her X handle on Monday morning, she said that people of Karunilam village in Chengalpattu district (not more than 200 houses) wanted to celebrate the pran pratishtha ceremony of Ayodhya’s Ram Mandir and watch Prime Minister Narendra Modi but they were told that unless the District Collector gives permission they shall not install the LED screen.
“Inside the famous Kamakshi Kovil, which is privately held, where bhajans have started from 08:00hrs, LED screens are being removed with plain-clothed policemen,”she said in a post.
