Police reluctant to arrest Christian vandal

Editorial comments

• Due to the anti-Hindu DMK Government in Tamil Nadu, incidents of vandalism of Idols of Hindu Deities are on the rise. To stop these attacks on Hindu Dharma, it is essential to unite Hindus effectively !
• How will the Police, who avoid arresting a Christian vandal, protect the Hindus ?

Chennai – A converted Christian Balakrishnan has been arrested for vandalising the Idols of Deities in Shri Ganesh temple at Vadamadurai in Dindigul District of Tamil Nadu. Balakrishnan smashed a total of five Idols, including the Idols of Shri Ganesh and four Naga Deities. He destroyed the electrical systems of Virbhadra and Ravaneshwar temples adjacent to this temple. The Police were reluctant to arrest Balakrishnan, but he was arrested after a protest by the Hindu Munnani organisation.

Media houses reluctant to report vandalism of Idols by a converted Christian !

Editorial comment

• No surprise if Hindus boycott such media houses !
• The only Tamil Nadu newspaper to report this incident, Dinamalar, reported that Balakrishnan was a converted Christian, but other media outlets deliberately suppressed this fact. There have been several incidents of Idol vandalism in Tamil Nadu before, but even though the religious fanatics are responsible for it, except for certain news websites, the rest of the media avoids writing about it.

The man identified as Balakrishnan who runs a financial institution in Kerala, had ‘loved’ a girl belonging to a different religion in Kerala and changed his name to Salim for her.#TamilNadu #Temples #Kerala https://t.co/LRAQxEd9wj
