Tamil Nadu government lenient towards Hindutva forces

CHENNAI: TNCC president K Selvaperunthagai on Wednesday criticised the state government for being lenient towards Hindutva forces, which, according to him, led to the protests by Hindu Munnani and other forces at Thirupparankundram “in an attempt to disturb communal harmony”.

Selvaperunthagai said RSS and other affiliated organisations, backed by BJP, are trying to derail Tamil Nadu’s progress in various sectors by creating communal conflicts.

The state Congress chief asserted there should be no tolerance for divisive forces. Citing a few instances, he said, “Attempts to instigate communal violence must be nipped in the bud,” he said.
