‘Ownership’ of Thiruparankundram Hill near Subramaniam Swamy Temple
On the top of Thiruparankundran hill is the Kasi Vishwanath Temple, a lamp post and a sacred Kallathi tree. The British administration also gave a decision That “Thiruparankundram hill is owned by Subramaniam Swamy Temple.” English had said that this entire area should be placed under the jurisdiction of the Archeology Department for the safety of the Jain temples and inscriptions located around the hill. But since 2011, Islamic organization SDPI has been opposing the installation of the flag near the lamp post on Thiruparankundram hill and is now trying to offer sacrifice on the holy hill. In such a situation, what is this if not an attempt to make the holy hill an Islamic religious place?
Local Hindus allege that local Muslims encroached on parts of the hill over time. Tamil Nadu government also makes appeasement in this matter.
Let us tell you that sdpi It is the political wing of the banned terrorist organization Popular Front of India (PFI). People associated with this organization have been involved in crimes against Hindus. Security experts say that PFI people have been involved in terrorist incidents under the guise of mask organizations. This is the reason why the Home Ministry has banned PFI.
