Hindu State President Munnani Kaadeshwara Subramaniam has demanded Tamil Nadu HR&CE Minister PK Sekarbabu to publish a white paper with supporting data for his assertion that the DMK government has recovered 1000 acres of encroached temple land worth ₹3943 crores.
While speaking at an event laying the foundation stone for reconstruction of the dilapidated Chozha era Mangala Lakshmi Azhaguraja Perumal temple at Thakkolam, next to Arakkonam in Ranipet district, Minister Sekarbabu said that 1000 acres of temple property worth ₹3943 crores have been recovered from the encroachers.
With regards to this claim, Hindu Munnani state president Kadeshwara Subramaniam has questioned the authenticity of the claim of the DMK minister.
In a press release dated 24 January 2023, the Hindu Munnani President stated,”DMK Minister Sekarbabu has developed a habit of stating that ‘so much land has been recovered’ each time he gives a press conference. People are sceptic of his claim of recovery since during a press conference with Chennai Mayor Priya, he instructed Mayor Priya to tell whatever number comes to her mind as data (‘Summa Adichu Vidu’). People in Tamil Nadu have suspicions that he is behaving similarly here.”
The press release added,”Therefore, the Hindu Munnani has been insisting that DMK minister Sekarbabu should issue a white paper on behalf of the HR&CE department regarding all the agricultural lands, buildings, shops, halls, water bodies and other immovable and movable properties that have been recovered from the occupation so far.”
It futher said,”Through this, people are likely to have confidence in the reports and publications issued by the HR&CE department. Therefore, the Hindu Munnani insists that the Tamil Nadu government should release the White Paper without any further delay.”
