Tamil Nadu Government

Tamil daily Dinamalar reported that the DMK-led-Tamil Nadu government had given 'unofficial verbal directive' to temples against conducting special prayers and offering Annadanam (free food) on the occasion of Ram Mandir Pran Prathistha.

On 3rd October PM Modi while addressing a rally in Telangana's Nizamabad remarked that the state government had captured the temples and that the temples were being looted through a conspiracy involving governments. 

Earlier in June 2020, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) served a legal notice to Abhijit Majumder for criticising the grand-old party.

SC agreed to look into a series of petitions alleging that the Tamil Nadu govt is trying to appoint 'non-believers' as archakas (priests), contrary to the age-old Agamas governing temples in the State

Despite its initial reluctance to hear the petition, the SC eventually agreed to issue notice to the TN Govt and the DMK Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin for his anti-Sanatan remark

Some organisers told The Commune that the setup process for Vinayagar Pandals has become excessively bureaucratic, burdensome, and taxing.
