Suspected MDMK and Nam TamizharIyakkam activists today allegedly barged into the house of the Ramanathaswamy Temple priest here and threw stones and slippers when a relative of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa was about to perform a 'pooja'.
Priest R C Anandha Dikshithar said the group broke open the gate and door of the house and shouted slogans against the Sri Lankan President when Tirukumaran Natesan was about to perform a "parikara pooja" (prayer seeking to remedy ill- effects of some sins).
Stones and slippers were hurled inside, the priest alleged, adding, he suffered minor bruises.
"They were under the impression that the pooja was being performed for continuance of Rajapaksa's regime, and abused me for performing the pooja...," the priest said. Full story...
