K Annamalai, state president of the BJP in Tamil Nadu, demanded that the case related to the hurling of petrol bombs into the party’s headquarters in Chennai be handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
Meanwhile, expressing concern over the religious disharmony relating to dress code, Madras High Court on Thursday wondered what is paramount – the country or religion. Hearing a petition seeking an order to permit only believers of ‘Sanatana Dharma’ in Hindu temples to prevent non-Hindus from entering the temples, the court said, “What is paramount? The country or the religion? It is shocking that somebody is going behind a hijab and somebody is going behind a dhoti.”
