The state government, meanwhile, citing Centre`s guidelines against public worship in view of the pandemic said the Madras High Court too had directed compliance with its directives.
The BJP on Thursday (August 20) attacked the Tamil Nadu government for disallowing celebration of Vinayaka Chaturthi in public places and asked when liquor shops can be opened why Ganesha idols should not be put up.
Backing Hindu Munnani, which, about four decades ago, set in motion the now prevalent practice of public celebration of Vinayaka Chaturthi, Saffron party`s Tamil Nadu president L Murugan asked: "In Tamil Nadu, the government which gave permission for opening TASMAC shops, did not allow putting up Vinayaka statues.Why?
On the stand of Munnani, State president Kadeswara C Subramaniam said, "we have a right to worship by following guidelines like social distancing to prevent the spread of coronavirus...We are holding talks with authorities."
A prominent Sangh Parivar outfit in Tamil Nadu, Munnani`s chief told to media: "We are seeking permission to put up Ganesha idols only in such public places that would be completely suitable to follow COVID norms and offer worship. We don`t insist on any location which authorities considered as not acceptable taking into account the pandemic."
Asked on his outfit reportedly saying that "government ban on public Ganesha worship will be defied," he denied he or anyone else making such a statement. "We did not say that we will violate or defy government orders.We are for following the norms to prevent the spread of the virus."
The state government, meanwhile, citing Centre`s guidelines against public worship in view of the pandemic said the Madras High Court too had directed compliance with its directives.
