A decision was taken at a meeting chaired by the District Collector to immediately remove the flagpole illegally erected by Sikandar Shah Dargah at the Thiruparankundram, anear Madurai.
The meeting was chaired by the district administration on the 24th of last month after the Hindu Munnani demanded the removal of the flag hoisted at Sikander Badushah Avulia Dargah on the hilltop of the dedicated to Thiruparankundram Arulmigu Subramania Swamy Temple in Madurai district.
The Islamic structure was built in the 17th to 18th-century over the 14th-century grave of last sultan of Madurai Sultanate Sikandar Badushah who faced a humiliating defeat at the hands of the great Pandya kings. The dargah is near much older Kasi Viswanathar cave temple.
At the meeting, the police were told that only the wooden flagpole should be used and that the newly erected iron flagpole should be removed immediately, based on the results of the 2011 peace talks.
It was also decided that both parties should approach the relevant civil court to seek redress as to who owns the land.
