Forum asks Madurai district administration not to permit religious meet
Members of Madurai Madha Nallinakka Makkal Kootamaipu, demanding the district administration to stop Hindutva organisations from propagating about the Murugan conference in Madurai, submitted a petition to Collector M.S. Sangeetha here on Monday.
As Hindutva organisations announced conducting the Murugan conference in Madurai on June 22, advocate K. Vanchinathan, one of the petitioners, said that it was a plan of the fringe elements to initiate communal differences in the State.
'While Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has spoken about the progressiveness of the State and how it had protected the minorities from the fringe group elements, how did Madurai district administration allow them to organise such a conference,' he asked.
While it was informed that the police were yet to issue them permission, on what basis, they were allowed to lay the foundation stone and propagate about the event through media and posters, Mr. Vanchinathan asked.
Condemning discrepancies in letting them conduct such a conference, he said that if it was not stopped, they would stage a protest, he asserted.
