At the 50th anniversary event of “Thuglak” magazine, Rajinikanth said that Periyar conducted a protest in 1971, at Salem with naked images of lord Sri Ramachandramoorthy and Sita. “In 1971, Periyar took out a rally against superstition in Salem. In the rally, naked images of Lord Sri Ramachandramoorthy and Sita with sandalwood garland. The incident was covered by no news outlet at that time” said Superstar Rajinikanth who lauded Thuglak which was founded by Cho Ramaswamy for publishing the news in the cover image of their magazine. He said that Thuglak severely criticized Periyar’s activity in that rally.

This speech from him created huge controversy and the supporters of Periyar are demanding an apology from the aspiring politician. “They are asking me to ask apology and to express my regret. I won’t ask apology for my speech and I register it here with politeness.” said Rajinikanth. Meanwhile, to our surprise, BJP’s MP Subramaniam Swamy, through his official twitter account, has expressed his support for the actor. He said that he stands by Rajinikanth for a change.

: But it required courage for a film star to take such a stand on behalf of Hindus. We have to appreciate that and stand by him against the Dravida Kazhagam threats

When one of a reporter asked about his thoughts on people’s statements who took part in the rally in 1971, Rajinikanth said that they are telling what they saw and he is saying what he read. “We should not keep bringing some matters.
