No Muslim Names In FIR: Hindu Munnani Flags Selective Action After Dargah’s Crescent Flag Hoisted On Thirupparankundram Sacred Kallathi Tree

Hindu Munnani has raised sharp questions over the Tamil Nadu police’s handling of the incident involving the hoisting of a crescent flag on the kallathi tree, the sacred thalavirutcham belonging to the Thirupparankundram Temple.

In a statement, the organisation alleged selective action by the authorities, pointing out that no Muslim names have been mentioned in the FIR registered in connection with the incident. Hindu Munnani questioned how this was possible when police reportedly insist that visitors must produce Aadhaar identification to climb the hill.

“If Aadhaar verification is mandatory, the identities of those who hoisted the crescent flag should be easily traceable. Why then were FIRs not registered in their names?” the outfit asked, suggesting that exceptions appeared to be made.

The organisation also flagged that clear photographs showing the faces of those involved are available, yet no arrests have been made so far. Hindu Munnani questioned whether the delay was due to “vote-bank considerations or fear”.

Further, it criticised the State government and the police for failing to remove the crescent flag even after the FIR was filed, calling it a reflection of administrative inaction and incompetence.
