The BJP is protesting his opinion. Meanwhile, actor Karunas, Naam Tamilar Party coordinator Seeman, Congress MP Jyotimani and many Tamil activists have extended their support to director Vethimaran.
In this situation, as the grandson of director Vethimaran Periyar, the head of VISA, Thirumavalavan has expressed his support to him.
Regarding this, Thirumavalavan said on his Twitter page, “Saivism was different during Rajaraja Chola’s time; Vaishnavism is different. Tirunei Bar is different; Married name is different. The two obviously clashed. Heads rolled in a mud of blood. Converted alternately. What was a Hindu at that time?” He has questioned.
It is the Lingayats of this age who say loudly that they are not Hindus; Thirumavalavan pointed out that they are also struggling, since he built a temple for the lingam 1000 years ago, is it right to impose today’s identity on him? Is this a historical trilogy? Director Vetrimaran mentioned this. He is the grandson of Periyar.” He also said.
