Dravidian Model Duplicity: Instead Of Eradicating Sanatana Dharma, DMK Minister Does “Eradicate Enemies” Yajna At Tiruchendur Temple, Stalin’s Son-In-Law Sabarisan Had Done The Same Earlier

The Commune

On the one hand, members of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu call for the eradication of Sanatana Dharma, on the other, members of the same party are seen to be performing pujas in different temples. The party members have been repeatedly disrespecting Hindu beliefs, equating Sanatana Dharma to dengue, malaria, corona, mosquitoes, and even HIV AIDS and leprosy. The party also has been routinely seen engaging in the systematic deterioration of Hindu temples by cutting down finances, interfering in temple customs and openly advocating against Sanathana Dharma. Interestingly, the party’s cadre, leaders, ministers, and their family members portray a contradictory stance, more often than not. 

The recent viral photograph of a DMK minister at the Subramaniya Swamy Temple in Tiruchendur has sparked widespread criticism and anger among critics.

Anitha R Radhakrishnan, the DMK Minister for Fisheries, Fishermen Welfare, and Animal Husbandry in Tamil Nadu, visited the Tiruchendur Subramaniya Swamy Temple on 4 February 2024. During this visit, he conducted the Shatru Samhara Puja, seeking success for the DMK in the upcoming elections and seeking spiritual remedy for the legal challenges initiated against him.

This temple visit and sudden display of devotion coincide with two significant events. Firstly, the performance of DMK in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, and secondly, the looming money laundering case against Minister Anitha Radhakrishnan by the Enforcement Directorate.

 During a recent consultation meeting on Lok Sabha elections in Tuticorin Anita Radhakrishnan cautioned party officials against election mistakes, stressing the potential removal from the party. He underscored the importance of forming a robust alliance (I.N.D.I. Alliance), maximizing DMK votes, and fostering collaboration among union secretaries. He also emphasized that it was necessary for them to vote for  Kanimozhi (DMK MP) once again and that she had to win by a margin of 6 lakh votes. 

Furthermore, in November 2023, Justice S.S. Sundar of the Madras High Court opted not to preside over the Minister’s writ petition contesting a money laundering case. The case revolves around allegations of disproportionate assets amounting to ₹2.68 crore between 2001 and 2006. This situation is particularly disconcerting for the Minister, especially considering the recent trend of other ministers being successively arrested in money laundering cases.

Netizens React

A sarcastic comment from a netizen questioning the need for the puja reads, “Why perform Shatru Samhara Puja? To win the case. What is the case? It is the case filed for saying that they will abolish Sanatana.“

Another netizen expressed frustration with a comment stating, “Dravidian bunch thieves…. they can do everything…. if ordinary Hindu worships his deity for his hardship and life it is communalism?”.

Another netizen subtly expressed criticism towards the ideology of DMK and EVR by stating, “Rationality baring its teeth.”

The Shatru Samhara Puja, a ceremonial practice within the Kaumaram subsect of Hinduism, is dedicated to honoring Kartikeya (also known as Lord Muruga). This ritual is notably performed at the Tiruchendur Murugan Temple, with the belief that participating in it offers safeguarding against malevolent influences for the practitioners.

In August 2023, during Aadiperuku day, the Minister for Food and Civil Supplies, R Sakkarapani, conducted a special pooja at the Subramaniya Swamy Temple in Tiruchendur. Notably, this special pooja took place amidst an ongoing investigation by the enforcement department into DMK ministers. A few days earlier, the wife and family of the former Higher Education Minister of Tamil Nadu, Ponmudi, also performed special pujas to the Shatru Samhara deity (Murthy). In August 2022,

Chief Minister Stalin’s son-in-law, Sabareesan, visited the Tiruchendur temple and conducted a Shatru Samhara yagam. 

Despite the inclination of DMK and specific political figures, the party cadres and ministers are often seen partaking in Hindu rituals often, claiming it was personal. However, they abstain from acknowleding their Hindu side when it comes to activities related to the party.
