MDMK general secretary Vaiko on Thursday charged that the BJP government in the Centre is continuously trying to scuttle the voice of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is mobilising the people against the ‘fascist BJP’.
In a statement, Mr. Vaiko said the dismissal of Mr. Gandhi’s plea to stay his conviction in a defamation case by a Surat court had paved the way for further appeals in the Gujarat High Court and the Supreme Court if the need arises. “Rahul Gandhi began the Bharat Jodo Yatra from Kanniyakumari and the shockwaves that it has created among the people has prompted the BJP leadership to intensify their efforts against him,” he alleged.
Mr. Vaiko added, “Such efforts that are aimed at burying the tenets of democracy will never win. Justice will prevail.”

Devotees of Lord Ayyappa will now have an opportunity to present their own devotional songs at the hill shrine of Sabarimala, thanks to an initiative by the TDB. The temple management board has decided to include newly composed devotional songs by ordinary devotees in the list of songs played through the public address system at the shrine. At present only devotional songs rendered by renowned singers such as K J Yesudas and Jayavijaya are played at Sabarimala, a Travancore Devaswom Board statement said.
