The tranquil areas of Thondamuthur and Alandurai Poondi, renowned for their natural beauty and temples, have recently witnessed unsettling violence. Hindu Munnani State President, Gadeshwara C. Subramaniam, has urged the police to take immediate action against those responsible for the disturbances, specifically pointing fingers at the Dravidar Kazhagam and Naxal organizations.
In his statement he said,“Poondi, often referred to as Southern Kailash, has recently seen hooliganism from Dravidar Kazhagam and Naxals. Immediate police action is required to address the violence and apprehend the culprits. Thondamuthur and Alandurai Poondi in Coimbatore, known for their natural beauty and numerous temples, are home to the Isha Yoga Center at the foothills of the Velliangiri Hills. This center attracts millions of devotees from India and abroad, offering not only spiritual guidance but also education, shelter, and healthcare to the underprivileged through its Village Rejuvenation Mission.”
He also added, “The Dravidar Kazhagam and Communist organizations, allegedly driven by proselytizing forces, have been attempting to discredit the Isha organization, which has been operational for over 25 years. They have hidden elephant routes and staged unnecessary protests with false land acquisition claims, all of which Isha successfully refuted in court.”
He called out hooliganism of the DMK, “Recently, Isha Yoga Center installed an electric incinerator for tribal and rural use. Despite its compliance with regulations, Dravidar Kazhagam continued to oppose it and instigated a lawsuit in the High Court. The court ordered the Pollution Control Board to inspect the crematorium, and the case has been postponed to June 26. Anticipating a favorable verdict for Isha, members of Dravidar Kazhagam and Naxal groups, accompanied by out-of-town rowdies, invaded the Isha Yoga Center on 14 June 2024, at 4 pm under the guise of inspecting the crematorium. They injured two individuals who were later hospitalized.”
In his statement he stated, “Authorities must take stringent action against the perpetrators. The Coimbatore district administration and police should identify those undermining social peace for selfish reasons, particularly the Thanthai Dravidar Periyar Kazhagam. Organizations like Dravida Iyakkam Tamilar Peravai, Tamil Tigers Party, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal, Tamil Nadu Dravidar Self-Respect Kazhagam, CPI ML Liberation, and Revolutionary Youth Front are spreading terrorism among rural youth and inciting them against the Isha Yoga Center. If appropriate action is not taken, Hindu Munnani plans to organize a massive demonstration involving the public and devotees.”
