BJP''s attempt to incite communal hatred through lamp lighting issue failed: TN Minister

CHENNAI: (Dec 27) BJP’s attempt to incite communal hatred through the Thirupparankundram lamp lighting issue failed and it appears that Lord Murugan was not on their side, Tamil Nadu HR & CE Minister P K Sekar Babu claimed on Saturday.

All such attempts to divide the people on communal lines will not yield success under Chief Minister M K Stalin’s rule, he said.

“They (BJP) wanted to incite communal hatred by invoking the name of Lord Murugan through the Thirupparankundram Karthigai Deepam lamp issue. But it appears that they did not have the sanction of the Lord. It failed,” the minister told reporters here.
