BJP Accuses Tamil Nadu Police of Harassing Madurai Aadheenam
Imagine a religious leader, like a very important priest, is being investigated by the police.
The BJP, a political party, thinks the police are bothering this priest unfairly.
They say the government is doing this to distract people from other problems.
The police asked the priest lots of questions, and now the police want to take away the priest's ability to be free before his trial.
The BJP is very upset and wants the government to stop bothering the priest.
They believe the government is being unfair.
BJP alleges Tamil Nadu police are harassing Madurai Aadheenam under the guise of inquiry.
Police questioned the pontiff for over an hour on July 20, asking 32 questions.
