🔥 MADURAI BURNS WITH DEVOTION & DEFIANCE! THIRUPARANKUNDRAM TEMPLE SHOWDOWN GOES VIRAL! 🔥
💪 THE STORM HITS MADURAI: 3500 COPS, THOUSANDS OF DEVOTEES & A TEMPLE UNDER SIEGE! 🌪️
On Tuesday, February 4th, thousands of Hindu devotees gathered in an electrifying protest against claimed Islamist claims over Madurai’s historic Thiruparankundram Hill, turning the hill into a battlefield. An violent dispute erupted around the ancient Murugan Temple, a location of great religious and historical significance, with Hindu Munnani leading the drive to preserve what they refer to as the “soul of Tamil culture.”
🛑 3500 COPS, PROHIBITORY ORDERS & THE COURTROOM DRAMA!
Tensions were high as a sea of saffron-clad demonstrators swarmed the streets, chanting Lord Murugan’s name. Despite the deployment of more than 3500 police officers to keep the peace, the demonstrators’ ferocious fervour was uncontrollable. One of the largest religious protests Tamil Nadu has witnessed in years began when the High Court authorised the demonstration despite prohibitory orders (Section 144) that had been in effect for two days!
🚨 WHO CLAIMS WHAT? THE BATTLE OF RELIGIOUS RIGHTS!
Some Muslim organisations maintain that portions of Thiruparankundram belong to them, citing the Sikandar Badusha Dargah, while Hindus assert ancient possession of the hill and its Murugan Temple.
| Hindu Perspective 👉 | Muslim Perspective 👈 |
|---|---|
| Murugan Temple is centuries old and one of Lord Murugan’s six sacred abodes | The Sikandar Badusha Dargah has been a place of Muslim worship for 400 years |
| Jain caves on the hill date back to 2nd century BCE and prove Hindu ownership | Sacrifices and religious practices have been conducted by Muslims for generations |
| Privy Council ruling (1931) declared the entire hill as temple property | Muslims claim it is Waqf property and should be accessible for their rituals |
🔄 RELIGIOUS CLASH OR POLITICAL GAME?
