Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Vice President Narayanan Thirupathy on Sunday strongly condemned the attack and death threat against a 12-year-old boy in Tirunelveli and urged Chief Minister MK Stalin to order the arrest of those involved in the attack.
"It is the duty and responsibility of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, who claims 'I am the Chief Minister for all', to order the arrest of those evil forces who had cut the sacred thread and attacked the young child and render justice," Thirupathy said in a post on X. "I strongly condemn the attack and the death threat on a 12-year young boy 'Akilesh' at Thiyagraja Nagar, Tirunelveli. Attacking him, the hooligans had cut his sacred thread he was wearing. He was also threatened that he should not wear the sacred thread in future. Wearing a sacred thread is not only a belief, but it's a tool of worship not only praying for one's wellness, but for the wellness of one's family and the society as a whole," he added in the post. https://x.com/narayanantbjp/status/1837858303503716822 "In the past 75 years, some evil forces like Justice Party and Dravidar Kazhagam & the DMK had created an impression that only Brahmins wear the sacred thread. However, most of the communites like Chettiars, Ayravaisiyas, goldsmiths, carpenters and sculptors had rituals of wearing and changing their sacred thread as a duty and belief during the important changes in their lives," he said in the post. "Cutting a sacred thread from a person is the height of stupidity, as the imperialist Britishers who created the illusion that Brahmin society has subjugated other societies and hence these fools want to destroy that society. It is the same pseudo secularists and politicians who claim that there is no caste but engaged in conspiring to seize political power on the basis of castes, are the ones engaged and instigating the cutting off the religious symbol of sacred thread by stating that all those who wear it are Brahmins," he added in the post.
