BJP leader H Raja was placed under house arrest after attempting to travel to Thiruparankundram, despite prohibitory orders issued in the area.

As BJP and Hindu Munnani members began their journey towards Thiruparankundram, police arrested several individuals at various locations. Hindu Munnani leader Kadeshwara Subramaniam was among those detained.

Raja, who tried to leave his residence in Karaikudi, Alagapuri, was stopped by Sivaganga SP Parthiban. The officer informed him that due to the prohibitory order, he would not be allowed to proceed and warned that he could be arrested as a precautionary measure.

Arguing with the police, Raja questioned the legal grounds for his restriction, stating that Section 144 had not been imposed in Madurai itself. He insisted on his right to travel up to the Madurai border and challenged the legality of his detention. “If four or more people gather, the law applies, but I am traveling alone,” he asserted. He further said, “If I go with two people, your Madurai collector, your Madurai commissioner cannot touch Raja. But you people are preventing me from leaving here at my doorstep itself. How can you do it? Under which law? Has Tamil Nadu been given as a gift to the Stalin family? Does he think he can say whatever he wants? And you will follow his orders? If there are more than 3 people with me, you can arrest me. But along with me, there are only 2 people.”

Despite his protests, the police stood firm on their decision. Raja remained in his car for nearly an hour, refusing to leave. Eventually, officers placed him under house arrest, preventing him from joining the planned march to Thiruparankundram.
