A CCTV nailed onto a deity’s face in Tamil Nadu has sparked massive outrage

By Akshaya Nath: Tamil Nadu BJP chief Annamalai condemned the installation of a CCTV camera on a deity’s face at a temple in Tiruvannamalai. A camera was fixed on the face of a sculpture at the Arunachaleshwara temple in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruvannamalai district.

In a strongly worded statement, Annamalai said that the ruling DMK has no respect for agamas. “A camera was nailed to the face a deity because atheists are managing the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department. No one in their right mind would do this. This is a planned action of the DMK as they want to please the minority by creating issues for the majority. Who is going to take responsibility for this vandalism?” Annamalai asked.

He further added that there is rampant corruption in the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department. “Ancient jewellery and ornaments of deities are being melted and turned into gold bars, paving the way for corruption. The DMK is continuously disrespecting spiritual beliefs. It will neither be forgiven by the people nor the gods. The training duration for temple priests has been reduced to a year from five years and it is condemnable,” he said.

The DMK is trying to impose their ideology on the traditions and spiritual mutts, the BJP state chief alleged, adding that it is the responsibility of the government to preserve the culture, tradition, belief and the agama rules even if they are atheists.
