Amma and Annadhanam
hinduonnet.com
As the BJP-led saffron brigade turned up in strength at the Kapaleeswarar temple here, the Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, today launched the ``annadhanam'' scheme in Hindu shrines in Tamil Nadu.
The scheme drew flak from former State Congress president, M.P. Subramaniam, who described it as ``anti-secular'', and the Tamil Maanila Muslim League president, Sheikh Dawood, and the Bishop,
Mylapore-Chennai Diocese, Church of South India, D. V. Deivasagayam.
JPR's note:
There is a message in this food donation at the temples of Tamil Nadu. The Government's participation (Amma) in non-secular services in Hindu Temples in the guise of food donation is a clear warning that the Amma Govt. won't brook any anti-people activities from minorities in the State of Tamil Nadu, and that the Govt. will come down hard on the miscreants. It looks like a preemptive move to keep the minorities in line and keep peace during her watch. |
