Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy on Saturday said that the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister should come to Kanchi Sankara Mutt and apologise to the Kanchi Seers.
Talking to reporters after meeting Sri Sankaravijayendra Saraswathi at Kanchi Sankara Mutt in Kancheepuram on Saturday, Dr. Swamy said there was nothing to get astonished over the outcome of Sankararaman murder case. “Because the apex court while granting bail to Kanchi Acharya 8 years ago had indicated that the case was foisted with baseless charges. However, it allowed the prosecution to pursue the case to identify the culprits and as well as the conspiracy behind the murder which had affected the image of Hinduism,” he added.
“They will loose” was his reply when asked what would happen if the prosecution-side decide to go for an appeal against the Session Court’s judgment. At the same time, if the prosecution was keen enough to bring the culprits to book it could pursue it on different line or hand over the case to central investigation agency, he said. Before that the Chief Minister Jayalalithaa should come in person to the Mutt and tender her apology to both the pontiffs, he added.
Later, he received the senior Acharya, Sri Jayendra Saraswathi at the Mutt entrance as the latter returned to the Mutt on Saturday at around 8-30 a.m.
Sri Jayendra Saraswathi, who left for Puducherry on November 27 morning from Kancheepuram, in order to be present at the Principal District Sessions Court, where the order in Sankararaman murder case was pronounced by the Judge, went to Tiruchendur from Puducherry and then to Tirupathi from Tiruchendur, before arriving in Kancheepuram on Saturday.
Electoral alliance
Responding to a question on electoral alliance for forthcoming Lok Sabha election, Dr. Swamy said it would be decided by a high-level committee of the party. But, it was certain that the party might not ally with those championing anti-Hindu politics and vigorously pursuing ill-conceived idea to damage the historic Ramar Sethu structure.
