With a delicate and volatile communal situation prevailing the country, are the government's actions or statements like these helpful?
'No' is the answer. I am not speaking in support or against anything or anyone.
This is clearly sending a message that the leftists and the atheist TN chief minister are calling shots here.
Lord Rama is an icon and revered by millions. It would be a fool who brushes aside the scriptures and say there is no evidence to prove anything. The government should have taken into consideration the sentiments of millions. As can be expected, the unorganized majority does not form a vote bank and so there is nothing at stake.
Most of the government ministers took oath of office by the name of God. Now who told them that God exists?
