Madurai: Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Praveen Togadia is to distribute "Trishul" to 12 children
and founder president of Bharathia Forward Bloc (BFC) K.A.Murugan at a function being organised by
the BFC in Madurai in connection with the "Thevar Jayanthi" on October 30.
Murugan told reporters on October 26 the objective of coinciding the Thevar Jayanthi with "Trishul"
distribution was to prevent the "Conversions" and "Islamic Terrorism" and also to establish that "the
Freedom Fighter Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar" was the leader of all castes and masses.
He charged that some parties were trying to portray Thevar in a bad light, which was not correct
because Thevar had raised his voice for the freedom of not only of India, but also for many countries in
South Asia.
Thevar was a great leader, who gave importance to "Deseeyam" (Nationalism) and Spiritualism. He had
worked under Nethaji Subbash Chandra Bose and had followed the ideals of Rashtriya Swayamsevak
Sangh (RSS) and VHP. He was the only leader to give reception to RSS leaders including Guru
Golwaikar, despite resistance in 1939-40.
The future generation should know the sacrifice made great leaders like Thevar and that was another
reason for arranging the "Trishul Distribution" during Thevar Jayanthi.
