Deepam Row: DMK's A. Saravanan Says Courts Should Not Interfere In Religious Matters

On this broadcast, DMK Spokesperson A. Saravanan defends the Tamil Nadu government's decision to stop the lighting of the Karthigai Deepam at the Deepathoon in Thiruparankundram. Saravanan argues that 'in matters of religion, courts should not pass orders which could not be implemented' and claims the site is near a Dargah, posing law and order issues. The programme also features BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan, who condemns the DMK's stance as 'anti-Hindu' and accuses the state of double standards for allowing Dargah rituals while blocking Hindu devotees. The segment highlights the standoff between protesters and police following the Madras High Court's order.
