Statewide protests led by the Hindu Munnani on 7 December 2025 displayed the intensified public anger over the Tamil Nadu government’s refusal to permit lighting the Deepam at the Thirupparankundram hilltop, with demonstrators in multiple districts targeting HR&CE Minister PK Sekar Babu for his remarks on the controversy.
Protests were held across Tamil Nadu after the organisation accused the government of defying consecutive High Court orders and denying Hindus their customary right to light the lamp at the Deepathoon. Crowds gathered in several districts, raising slogans against the DMK administration and alleging political interference in temple practices. Videos circulated widely on social media showed demonstrators throwing slippers at the minister’s poster, reflecting growing discontent among Hindu groups over the state’s handling of the issue.
This was especially seen in Tirunelveli district, in front of the DMK office there. Slogans were raised, his poster/photos were slippered.
