DMK, VCK Protest Karthigai Deepam Ruling

DMK, VCK Protest Karthigai Deepam Ruling

There was a big argument in the Indian parliament about a religious event called Karthigai Deepam.

Some people from the DMK party said the government was causing trouble by letting Hindus light a lamp on a hill near Madurai.

They even walked out of the parliament in protest.

Another leader, Thirumavalavan from the VCK party, called the Hindu devotees 'terrorists' and wanted a judge to be removed.

The Supreme Court is now looking into the matter because the Tamil Nadu government and the Madras High Court have different opinions about where the lamp should be lit.

The police even stopped the devotees and arrested some people, which made the situation more tense.
