Hindu Munnani activist murdered by miscreants

A BRIEF REPORT ABOUT THE MURDER OF SRI MURTHY, A HINDU MUNNANI ACTIVIST ON 27.02.2010.

On the morning of 27th Feburary 2010 around 10-00 a.m., Sri Murthy, an Hindu Munnai activist was brutally murdered by some Muslim fundamentalists. It was a planned murder carried out in order to create terror among the residents of Pudur locality of Gnayaru Village of Sholavaram area and thereby forcibly take possession of 64 cents of land belonging to a Hindu trust. The genesis of this is as detailed below:

A Baba by name Sarveswar came to this village long time back, lived and attained samadhi. He propogated the Sarveswar mantra to the people. One of his close disciples was Smt.Gajalakshmi, wife of one Sri Govindaswamy Naidu. She was instrumental in building a Samadhi for the Baba and also gave away all her wealth for the worship of the Baba by creating a Trust in his name. Her son Sri Semadri is the present trustee.

Everybody in this locality knew that this Baba was a Hindu and he propogated the Sarveswar mantra. However, 10 years back, a group of muslims in order to take control of the property of the trust spread the rumour that the Baba's real name was Shahkinsha Baba and that he was a Muslim. They forcibly occupied the Samadhi and started threatening the local Hindus.

The dispute went to the police and local court and it was clearly ruled that the Baba was a Hindu and the disciple who built a samadhi in his name was a Hindu and Hindus only offered worship there. In spite of this, the High Court gave a verdict that both Hindus and Muslims have an equal say in the worship in the said place. 

It is pertinent to point out that for some years there has been an influx of Muslim fundamentalists to this area and forcible conversion of many women to Muslims by abducting them from various places. This has been brought to the notice of the local police now and then. The people of this locality also came to know that some fundamentalists Muslims belonging to Melapalayam of Madurai and Tirunelveli have frequently visited this place, stayed here and carried out various crimes.

Amidst this background, on 27.02.2010, when Sri Murthy (39 years), who was a member of the Sarveswar Baba Committee and a Hindu Munnani activist, came out of the Temple of Sarveswar Baba after worship and lighting a lamp, was brutally murdered by Muslim fundamentalists in broad daylight. The sister of Sri Murthy told that Sri Murthy had informed her a few days before the murder that he has been receiving death threats from Muslims and that they are hatching plans to kill him. 

The local people strongly suspect that such fundamentalist activities are encouraged and supported by Yasim Ali, an Advocate of Madras High Court, Sri J.M.Haroon, an M.P., of Tenkasi and Sri H.Haroon.
