Madurai, Tamil Nadu | Madurai Adheenam Pointiff, Sri La Sri Harihara Sri Gnanasambanda Desika Swamigal says, "I planned to visit the Kasi Viswanathar Temple on Thiruparankundram Hill today for darshan, but the police stopped me. I think the police are worried that people from other religions might cause trouble for me, but I was only going there to pray. How can they call it Sikandar Hill? It is the Murugan Hill. All the literature refers to it as the Murugan Hill. Christianity and Islam originated from foreign lands. We respect and accommodate their beliefs, and they should also learn to respect and accommodate ours. In our temple, people do not bring or consume non-vegetarian food... Except for the BJP, no other political party has raised their voice on this issue because they fear losing minority votes. That is why they remain silent."
