New Delhi, Mar 7: Strongly condemning the vandalisation of Periyar's statue in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, the Congress on Wednesday said the damage to the statue of the leader, who worked to secure social justice for the Dalits and the underprivileged, was an insult not just for Tamil Nadu but the whole country.
Talking to reporters here, leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, said,'workers of the BJP are indulging in goondaism across the country. Damage to statue of Periyar, who worked to secure social justice for the Dalits and the underprivileged, is an insult not just for Tamil Nadu but the whole country."
"We strongly condemn it. Such attacks on the symbols of social reformers like him will not be tolerated,' he added.
Terming incident as reflective of the BJP's intolerance to other ideologies, he said, 'Democracy means space for several ideologies to coexist. However, the BJP has been showing intolerance to views of others. Periyar started a movement in Tamil Nadu to secure social justice for the Dalits and underprivileged," he said.
"Based on this ideology, the DMK was formed. Later, MGR set up AIADMK based on the same ideology. If anyone has contributed to securing social justice to these sections through political power it is Periyar. In this sense, damaging his statue is insult of the poor as he fought for securing social justice for them all his life.'
Kharge alleged that such attacks were part of design by the BJP and RSS to impose their ideology on the country. UNI

Chennai, Feb 24: The ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu celebrated the 70th birth anniversary of former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa by unveiling  her life-statue bronze statue at the party office in the city on Saturday. 
Chief Minister and AIADMK Joint Coordinator Edappadi K Palaniswami and Deputy Chief Minister and Coordinator O Panneerselvam unveiled the seven ft high statue in the presence of senior party leaders, Ministers, MPS and MLAs.
The statue was installed adjacent to AIADMK Founder MGR's statue at the party office.After unveiling the statue, both Mr Palaniswami and Mr Panneerselvam launched the 'Namadhu Puratchi Thalaivi Amma', a Tamil daily, that would be the official mouthpiece of the party.
The decision to launch its own official organ was taken at AIADMK meeting last month after the existing 'Dr Namathu MGR' and 'Jaya TV' started by Ms Jayalalithaa went into the control of the family members of deposed AIADMK leaders V K Sasikala and her nephew and RK Nagar MLA TTV Dhinakaran after the death of the former Chief Minister. 
The AIADMK was also mulling to launch its own TV channel. 
Later, Mr Palaniswami and Panneerselvam, along with senior party leaders, paid floral tributes at the statue of Ms Jayalalithaa and MGR to mark the occasion and distributed sweets to the scores of AIADMK cadres, who had thronged the party headquarters.
The Chief Minister also presented a golden ring to the person, who sculpted the statue of Ms Jayalalithaa.
The Party office was tastefully decorated to mark the birth anniversary of  Ms Jayalalithaa and a 70 kg cake was cut to mark the occasion.
A slew of functions were organised by various wings of the party across the state to mark the occasion.
Ms Jayalalithaa's pet project 'Amma Two-wheeler subsidy scheme' would be launched later in the evening by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
To mark Ms Jayalalithaa's birth anniversary, 70 lakh saplings would be planted across the state and it would also be launched by Mr Modi, that would significantly enhance the green cover of the state. UNI
