Expansion

Ruling DMK’s Lok Sabha MP S Senthilkumar has opposed the ‘bhoomi puja’ being conducted by a Hindu priest for a road project. He objected that for any such official event, representatives of all religions should be invited to offer prayers and not the representative of any one religion should be included.

what is the whole matter

In fact, Senthilkumar, the Lok Sabha MP from Dharmapuri seat, had reached his home district to worship the land of a road project. On reaching here he asked the Executive Engineer of the Public Works Department whether he was aware that a government function should not be conducted in such a way that only the prayer of a particular religion should be included. He asked the officer whether you know this thing or not.

‘Where are the people of other religions?’

During this, seeing a saffron-clad Hindu priest present on the spot, he asked the officer where the representatives of other religions were. He told the officer, “What is this? Where are the other religions? Where are the Christians and the Muslims? Invite the church father, the Imam, invite those who do not follow any religion. Significantly, the symbols of social justice. The Dravida Kazhagam, a rationalist organization founded by Periyar EV Ramasamy, is the parent body of the ruling DMK.

‘Government for all religions’

After the scolding of MP S Senthilkumar, the executive engineer of the Public Works Department apologized to the MP. He told the officer that this is the Dravidian model of governance. Government is for people of all religions.

During this, he also clarified that he is not against Pooja. But, all religions should be included in government events. He said that representatives of all religions should be included in such programs. Senthilkumar advised the officials not to invite them for programs that involve prayers of a particular religion. The MP inaugurated the project after interacting with the officials. However, during this time no prayers were offered as per the pre-scheduled schedule. Senthilkumar has also shared a video of this conversation on his Twitter handle.
