The VHP yesterday asked the Tamil Nadu government to immediately withdraw the cases against the Kanchi Sankaracharyas and pave the way for their release, before the issue 'boomeranged' on it.Briefing reporters on the deliberations on the VHP's two-day executive meeting, S. Vedantham, VHP All-India International Vice-President said that a 'mini emergency' like situation was prevailing in the state, where both Acharyas and other staff of the Kanchi Mutt had been arrested and were 'being mentally tortured.'
Since a petition was pending before the Supreme Court, seeking transfer of cases to another state, it would be better if the government withdrew the cases and pave the way for the release of the Seers. Otherwise, there was every possibility that it would boomerang on the government, he said.Asked whether the VHP feared that cases would be booked against the Acharyas under the Narcotics drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, he said "The government may go to any extent."Stating that a 'fear psychosis' has gripped supporters and devotees of the Sankaracharyas, he said that many people were remaining silent, 'despite knowing the facts.'
Referring to RSS chief K S Sudarshan's
recent statement on BJP leaders A B Vajpayee and L.K. Advani, he said that
though he did not have the full text, 'it is a welcome statement and should
be applicable to all.'
