Bhubaneswar (VISAKEO): Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Saturday announced to file criminal cases under section 295 of the IPC against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK Chief Karunanidhi for misinterpreting the Valmiki's Ramayan while saying Lord Ram as a drunkard according to Valmiki. Speaking at news conference here, VHP International General Secretary Prabin Bhai Togadia said that VHP activists, Sadhus and Hindus across the country will file criminal cases against the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi for misinterpreting Valmiki's Ramayan while saying Lord Ram was a drunkard from Monday onwards. "If Karunanidhi wants a public debate over the existence of Lord Ram and Valmiki's Ramayan, then he should come to Ayodhya or Kashi and faced the Sadhus and Sathas of the country, why he challenging political leaders for debate," Togadia directly referring to Karunanidhi's challenge to Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha LK Advani for a debate on Lord Ram said. "Karunanidhi misinterpreted the Ramayan and his anti-Hindu stand, will be strongly replied, if the Centre did not scrape the project soon," Togadia warned. VHP always ready for a debate over the issue, but those who are in favour of debate should come to a proper platform instead politicising the issue, Togadia asserted. The Centre should immediately scrape the project and realise its mistakes committed during the file of the defamatory affidavit in the Supreme Court, he demanded.
"Karunanidhi is a history cheater and his double standard on Lord Ram's existence was evident from the fact that, in 1972, he admitted Lord's existence in Tamil Nadu District gazetteers," Togadia releasing a copy of the Gazetteers said. Accusing Congress Party Chief Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for their pro-US and anti-Hindu lobby, Togadia said "VHP is preparing itself for a greater movement over the issue and unless and until, the project get scrapped, nationwide agitation will continue," Four lakh fishermen along the Tamil Nadu Coast would be severely affected and they would lose their livelihood while thorium deposits along the Coast will also be affected, Togadia, who is here to attend an All-India Hindu Religious Conference underway at Puri argued. Locals, who live and work amid scores of Hindu temples across Rameswaram, believe it was blasphemous on part of the Government to question mythology, he claimed. "The Central Government has deliberately created circumstances that the Ram Setu be demolished. All Hindus are opposing this," he said.
Charging the CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat, who is backing Karunanidhi over Ram Sethu, Tagodia said the communists are now become a party of the international conspiracy that has been going on against India's economic progress. What they (the Communists) learned about Lord Ram, now backing Karunanidhi? He asked. "If no Ram, then why other political parties in Tamil Nadu including the main Opposition AIDMK is opposing the controversial statement over Lord Ram," he argued. Asked whether VHP will allow BJP to make a political issue, if the country faces a mid-term poll, Togadia said that matter is purely faith, belief and culture and VHP in fact not in favour of politicisation of the issue.
