Explanation

BJP’s senior leader H. Raja said in a program conducted by News 18 TV, “it should be understood by the people and youths. People from scheduled castes should not enter the temple. If he enters in such a way, the Shudras will not rise to the level of Brahmins but will go down to the level of backward class people”, claims a 12-second video that is being shared on social media. Mannargudi MLA and DMK’s Information Technology Team Secretary T R B Rajaa has shared this on Twitter.

This video has been circulating on social media since the last year 2020 that H.Raja insulted the SC community people. In 2020, this video was also shared on the Facebook page of the IT wing of the Viduthalai Siruthaigal Katchi condemning H. Raja.

What is the truth?

Searching for the video where H. Raja spoke, on February 18, 2020, on the topic “Tamil Nadu under the rule of 50 years of Dravidian parties? Development? Or Fall?”, H.Raja has participated in a program ‘Makkal Sabha’ conducted by News 18 channel.

In the above video, H.Raja has spoken twice at 41st minute and 1:02:54 hours. Speaking at 1:02:54, “If they criticize my acceptance of the existence of a place called Dravidian then it is understood that they are not accepting the truth. Don’t get angry if I tell the truth about this honour killing. It happens because of the instigation of the Dravidian movements. The reason is that its basic ideology is hostile to the Scheduled Castes.

Muthuramalingathevar was present when Vaidyanatha Iyer entered the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai with scheduled caste members. But, it was E.V.R who opposed it. Although I do not agree with the words that he uttered, I’m saying it so that the truth can be understood by the people of Tamil Nadu and the youths. People from scheduled castes should not enter the temple and should not enter together. If he enters in such a way, the Shudras will not rise to the level of Brahmins but will reach down to the level of backward community, said E.V.R. They act against Dalit community”, before completing this sentence other speakers started opposing it.

In the video in which H.Raja spoke about Periyar saying about Scheduled Caste people going into the temple, the middle part alone was clipped and Periyar’s name has been deleted and spread wrongly.

Conclusion

The video circulated by the DMK supporters in which senior BJP leader H. Raja seems to be insulting people of Scheduled Castes is not true but edited.
