The Madras High Court sharply criticised TN Minister S. Reghupathy for his remark on the Thiruparankundram Karthigai Deepam issue, saying, “I conclude that Thiru. Ragupathy has given a mischievous political spin to the turn of events.”
Today, On 9th February, The Supreme Court refused to intervene in the Madras High Court’s ruling allowing Karthigai Deepam lighting at Thiruparankundram hill while restricting Muslim prayers to Ramzan and Bakri-Id. It also upheld the HC order banning animal sacrifice, limiting prayer rights on Madurai hilltop.
