In the tweet, MK Stalin mentioned Perarivalan as a ‘brother’ and wished for his better future along with his mother, Arputhammal, who had been fighting for his release.
A video had gone viral recently on social media platforms in which a woman from Tamil Nadu identified as Valarmathi, a resident of Pacheri village, tried to set herself on fire alleging conversion attempts by a Christian man from her village.
21-year-old man named Iman Hameef was arrested for forcibly trying to convert a Dalit Hindu woman to Islam and posting her intimate pictures on social media.
The Hindu seer also condemned the Mayiladuthurai district administration's decision to ban the 'Pattina Pravesam' ritual saying that the ritual is a 500-year-old tradition and attacks on traditions of a particular religion in this manner are not fair.
Following the order issued by the Mayiladuthurai Collectorate, Hindu organisations and devotees have reacted strongly, demanding the withdrawal of the order.
