Arun Kumar, a famous Instagram personality from Theni was attacked by goons belonging to Vidhuthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) as he had made videos calling out the Thirumavalavan’s ‘secular’ hypocrisy and also slammed Tamil Christian songs singer Isaivani for insulting Lord Ayyappan with her song “I’m sorry Ayyappa”.

Arun Kumar in his video criticizing Thol. Thirumavalavan had said “You went to temple. Prayed to God. And the pujari gave you prasadam. That pujari should be given one knock on the head. Because he should’ve just returned without saying anything. But what did you do? You’ve taken a tour of all the idols and commenting ‘Why is Vinayagar so ugly? Murugan is beautiful.’ It’s our family matter. We’ll take care of that. Because do the 5 fingers in the hands look the same? It’s coming from our hand only. The thumb is different each other fingers. But will we cut the hand because of that? No right? That’s it. That’s our family. We know to take care of it. What you do is, you go to Jesus’s church next. You’ll look at the cross. ‘Were people just mere spectators till the crusification?’, you may ask. Then you’ll go to a mosque and see just wall. Our brethren pray to Allah looking at that. But will you say, ‘they’re worshipping looking at a wall’? Don’t say like that. If you want me to be a Periyar follower, when you come asking for votes, say that you don’t want the votes of believers. That day I’ll say that God doesn’t exist. You say that only Periyar is there, and you follow only Periyar and then come asking for votes saying you don’t want the votes of those who pray to Allah, Jesus or Sivan. I’ll vote for you then.”

In another video where he criticised the Gana singer Isaivani for her “I am sorry Ayyappa” song, he said, “This girl has sung songs. She says she is the bearded man’s granddaughter. I don’t care if you are the bearded man’s granddaughter, why do you drag Ayyappa for every single thing? Go to a mosque or a church and try dragging them. I believe we must not unnecessarily find fault with any god, whoever it may be. Don’t slander Gods. We all believe in them. You say Periyar is your grandfather. He got married at 80. Be like him, I am trying to keep my anger in control. My Guru tells me to be calm and says this is a test. You sing your songs, you have your own fanbase. But unnecessarily dragging Lord Muruga, Lord Ayyappa. Sing about your grandfather, sing about his pride. He got married at 80, like that you too marry at 80, find a young girl and marry her. Sing like that. Let all the youth learn from it.”

Following these videos, it has come to light that Arun Kumar was attacked by the VCK goons. It is not clear which video has resulted in the backlash.

In a video statement, Arun is seen in an ambulance saying, “I did not say anything wrong. I only said all Gods are same. But these VCK members, about 20 of them came and attacked me out of the blue. They beat me up. I did not say anything wrong. I could have managed if it was one man but 20 people beat me up together.”

Visuals of the VCK goons trying to fight with the Instagrammer also became viral. In the video VCK goons are seen intimidating Arun questioning him about the video where he rightly questioned Thirumavalavan.
