TIRUNELVELIAppealing to Collector Sandeep Nanduri not to give permission for taking out the Sree Ramadasa Mission Universal Society’s ‘Ram Rajya Rath Yatra’ via Tirunelveli, members of Manithaneya Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam submitted a petition during the weekly grievance day meet held at the Collectorate on Monday. After starting the ‘Rath Yatra’ at Uttar Pradesh on February 13, the Sree Ramadasa Mission Universal Society had scheduled to visit Virudhunagar via Shencottai and again a few parts of Tirunevleli before leaving for Kanniyakumari from where the ‘yatra’ will enter Thiruvananthapuram. It may be noted that the ‘People’s Confederation Against Saffron Terrorism’ also submitted a similar petition in this connection to the Collector on Monday last. Moreover, several crores of rupees worth properties were then destroyed by the rioters,” said Mr. Rafiq. “When a similar ‘yatra’ was taken out in the 1990’s, the procession triggered panic at several places owing to the slogans raised by the processionists and consequently caused clashes in these places and claimed a few hundred innocent lives.
