BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Saturday said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa should apologise to the Kanchi Mutt seers after a Puducherry court acquitted them of murder charges.
Mr Swamy visited the Mutt and received Swami Sri Jayendra Saraswati.
In a huge relief to the pontiffs of the Mutt - Jayendra Saraswathi and Vijayendra Saraswathi - a Puducherry court on Wednesday acquitted them in the sensational case of murder of a temple official in Kancheepuram in Tamil Nadu in 2004.
Mr Swamy has consistently campaigned against the Tamil Nadu government for allegedly foisting a false murder case against the Acharyas.
Later, he met both the senior and junior Shankaracharyas separately.
Talking to reporters at the Mutt, he said Jayalalithaa should apologise to the Acharyas.
