Tamil Nadu Govt Moves Supreme Court Over Deepam Row; BJP Targets Vijay Government
The Vijay-led Tamil Nadu government has moved the Supreme Court challenging the Madurai High Court order on lighting the Deepam near a mosque, saying the move is aimed at preserving peace and communal harmony. Minister Nirmal Kumar accused the BJP of politicising the issue, while the BJP alleged that the government was ignoring Hindu sentiments and following the DMK's path. The row has triggered a sharp political debate over faith, law and order, and communal harmony in Tamil Nadu.
