Sasikala pays tribute at the samadhi
Late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s friend V. K. Sasikala offered tributes at the ‘samadhi’ of Muthuramalinga Thevar here marking the 59th guru puja and 114th birth anniversary being observed on Friday.
Accompanied by supporters from the AMMK and AIADMK, the crowd suddenly turned out-of-control and only after police rushed to regulate it that Ms Sasikala could walk to the memorial. After garlanding the statue, she sat in the corner and meditated for a while.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
