Tamil Nadu: Row over appointment of non-Brahmin priests in temples by DMK govt

BJP MP Subramanian Swamy cautioned CM MK Stalin that he would move court against the appointment of non-Brahmin priests to Tamil Nadu's temples.

Keeping its poll promise, the DMK Government has appointed trained aspirants from various castes as temple priests in Tamil Nadu. M.K.Stalin, I thought, would not repeat his father's mistakes on the issue of Temples. MK got a snub from Supreme Court in my Sabhanayagar Natraj Temple case of 2014. In the recent DMK meddling with Temple priests postings, it has become necessary for me to go to Court too. Many social media messages and videos saying priests in temples are being sacked to make way for new appointees. I welcome the appointment of priests of all castes but sacking those working in temples for decades is wrong. @PKSekarbabu @mkstalin Since people wanted video to be put out. That seems to be a @ThanthiTV microphone. pic.twitter.com/73Xo6LHhKU @mkstalin ! !! pic.twitter.com/lQpDI2gBdK Of the 208 appointees, CM MK Stalin handed over appointment orders from the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment (HR & CE) Department on Saturday to 75 personnel who had completed 'Archagar' training.
