Vidyapeeda Chairman President Swami Chaidanyanandaji Maharaj gave an interview to the press and he said:
‘Mandaikkadu religious discourse has been going on for 85 years and this was very helpful to create unity among Hindu people and prevent religious conversion. DMK Minister Mano Thangaraj said that the religious discourse will not take place this year’.
*We Kumari Hindus will not allow HR&C to hold a conference, the authorities and the government should not act in a way that causes riots again, and should not lead to the 1982 riots*
* Central government ministers will also come in Mandaikkadu Kodai ceremony Kumari District. Do not drag it to Kumari district officials. Kumari district government officials are acting anti-Hindu*
*Should be allowed to hold religious conference.BJP State President Annamalai Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundarajan and other state governors will also be invited in this conference. If there is political talk in this religious conference, the government should monitor and prevent it. We will cooperate.
If it is proved that money has been embezzled in the name of religious conference, we will not protest. If the conference is not held on March 5, there will be a problem and there is a possibility, that the visit of Chief Minister in Kumari district on March 8 may be canceled.
Let the Mandaikadu be a Mandaikadu and don’t turn it into Ayodhya, he said. On Tuesday, Hindus should light Akal lamps in their streets and pray in front of their houses. On Friday, devotees are going to urge the government to hold a conference and carry lamps in all Hindu temples.*
