Speaking to reporters in Erode, after appearing in court in a case for his defamatory posts against social reformist Periyar, the BJP leader said that the court has sought an explanation from the state government regarding encroachment of temple lands within 12 weeks. “Did Sekar Babu, who is praised by Chief Minister MK Stalin, have filed the response? He does not act, but only issues empty statements. The HR & CE department, which was started to save temples, has been involved in its destruction,” he said.
