Aadal Arasan, the state president of the RSS in Tamil Nadu, has condemned the DMK for disseminating false information and propagating rumors about the RSS and Muthuramalinga Thevar.
On October 14, Murasoli, the DMK’s official newspaper, published an article quoting Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar as saying, “Shared over Whatsapp: Death may come at any time, but we should not let RSS infiltrate Tamil Nadu even if we die.”
Condemning the false news published by Murasoli about Thevar and RSS, RSS Tamil Nadu State President Adal Arasan has issued a statement saying that Murasoli published fake stories that Muthuramalinga Devar was opposed to the RSS organization.
In a statement issued by Adalarasan, “Murasoli, the official magazine of the DMK, which heads the ruling coalition in Tamil Nadu, has published a fake news report falsely quoting Pasumpon Muthuramalingath Devar as saying that he opposed the entry of the RSS into Tamil Nadu. Not only is the information false, but Pasumbon Muthuramalinga Thevar was close to the RSS organization during his lifetime and valued friendship with RSS leaders.”
He continued, “The 51st birth anniversary of Sri Guruji Golwalkar, the RSS’s second leader, was celebrated with great enthusiasm across the country in 1956. The ceremony was presided over by Pasumbon Muthuramalinga Devar at Madurai, Tamil Nadu. “His ideas have been aligned with the RSS’s views,” he said during his remarks at the ceremony.”
He further said,” If the truth is this, it is shameful that the DMK and its mouthpiece are attempting to create a false and negative impression about RSS among the people of Tamil Nadu by stating that Pasumbon Muthuramalinga Thevar, who is respected by patriots and devotees of God, opposed the RSS organisation.”
He concluded by noting that spreading false information and defaming RSS by the official newspaper of the ruling party of a state is strongly condemned.
It should be noted that the Dravidian stockists were before insulting Devar and are now suddenly displaying their affection for Thevar for the sake of votes. Dravida Viduthalai Kazhagam chief Kolathur Mani, who is known for his close ties with banned terrorist organisation LTTE and for being a Periyarist, has questioned in a meeting whether Tamil Nadu people need a Tamil (Muthuramalinga Thevar) who unleashed violence against lower caste people or a Kannadan (EVR alias Periyar) who advised Kamarajar to imprison Thevar. He used the Tamil swear word ‘avan’ to describe Thevar, who is revered by many in Tamil Nadu. Another motormouth periyarist Subhavee previously had the same stance as Kolathoor Mani about Thevar. It is to be noted that Pasumpon Thevar was acquitted of all charges in Ramanad riot 1957. However, Dravidian stockists continue to spread false information about Muthuramalinga Thevar’s involvement in the Ramanad riots.
In another such incident, on the occasion of Thevar Jayanthi (October 30, 2020), the birth and death anniversary of one of Tamil Nadu’s greatest nationalist leaders, DMK chief MK Stalin insulted Thevar by rubbing ‘vibudhi’ prasadam off his hands without even applying it to his forehead in order to maintain his ‘rationalist’ credentials.

The fake narratives of DMK and its ecosystem were exposed by Netizens who quoted the book “Thevar Oru Vaalkai (Life of Thevar)” by Baalu Sathya, in which the friendship between RSS and Pasumon Muthuramalinga Thevar was clearly explained. SG Suryah condemned Murasoli for spreading fake news about Thevar and RSS.
