Seer repents for ‘soda bottle’ comment
TIMES NEWS NETWORK
Madurai: Sadagopa Ramanuja Jeeyar, head of Sri Manavala Mamunigal Mutt at Srivilliputhur, on Sunday said he had asked pardon from Andal over his recent remarks on throwing soda bottles or pelting stones. He made these comments while addressing a meeting organised by a Hindu outfit at Tiruchengode on Friday.
The comments were made over a controversy over Tamil lyricist Vairamuthu referring Hindu deity Andal as Devadasi in an essay he wrote in a vernacular daily.
Ever since, there are protests in Srivilliputhur and other places demanding Vairamuthu to express a public apology and seek pardon from the deity on or before February 3, failing which the seer has threatened to go on indefinite hunger strike. The seer was addressing a meeting in this regard at Tiruchengode urging members of all Hindu outfits to protest against Vairamuthu and uttered that ‘we all know how to hurl soda bottles and stones’.
