Tamil Nadu govt defies HC order, doesn't light holy 'deep' near dargah
The Madras HC earlier allowed that a diya be lit atop a pillar on Thiruparankundram hill, which is close to a dargah and noted that lighting it won't affect Muslims. However, the 'deep' was lit at traditional spot near Ucchi Pillaiyar temple. "The state...has decided to cock a snook at this court's order," HC said, reprimanding the DMK government.
