C. The Incitement of violence by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu

  • On 2nd March 2010 SunTV the politically owned media house of the DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) which was the ruling party of the State of Tamil Nadu in 2010, made a sensational and repeated screening of a fabricated video purporting to show THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM with a well-known Hindu film actress. The video was later proved to be false: A Judge ordered the television station to run an apology for it every two hours for 7 days, and Hansraj Saxena, COO Sun TV confessed on public television as well as gave a sworn affidavit to a US court detailing the history and modus operandi of the blackmail and extortion and was jailed for the same. This did not remedy the damage. The State suppressed these facts from appearing in the public discourse and also from appearing before the Hindu judiciary. The State-owned and controlled television channels within a few hours ensured the television telecast of Hansraj Saxena, (COO Sun TV) was stopped; the ASMT has captured the video recording of the telecast and has this as evidence of the same.
  • In March 2010, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu had given a press statement where he declared the State government's intent to take control of private temples owned by THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and other Hindu spiritual leaders (Swamis).
  • On 3 March 2010 the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Karunanidhi, made a public statement inciting hatred towards THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and the ASMT community. This was published in several newspapers and cited by several media channels.
    • a. The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu stereotyped and vilified Swamis (Hindu Monks) labeling them as "cheats (ஏமாற்றுவித்சதக்காரர்கசளயும்)", "imposters
  • b. The Chief Minister declared the stand of his government on Hindu monks (like THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM), "my government cannot tolerate the despicable Swami's hoodwinking acts (கயசமத்தன ைாமியார்களின் ஏமாற்று வித்சதகசள வபாறுத்துக் வகாண் டிருக்க முடியாது)."
  • c. The Chief Minister described the practicing Hindus who followed Swamis (like the followers of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM) as, "People who are deeply buried in ignorance who cannot still understand these or even if understood do not want to change (அப்படியிருந்தும், இன்னமும் புரிந்துவகாள்ள முடியாத, புரிந்துவகாண் டாலும் திருந்திக் வகாள்ள இயலாத வமௌடீகத்தில் மூழ்கிலயார் நாட்டில், ைமூகத்தில் இருக்கத்தான் வைய்கிறார்கள்)", "those fickle-minded people who have fallen prey to these Swamis and destroying the society (இதுலபான் ற ஏமாற்றுவித்சதக்காரர்கசளயும், பக்தி லவடம் பூண் டு பாமர மக்கசள படு குழியில் தள்ளுகின் ற பகல்லவடக்காரர்கசளயும், அவர்களிடம் பலியாகி ைமுதாயத்சத சீரழிக்கின் ற ைபல புத்தி உசடயவர்கசளயும் இந்த அரசு லவடிக்சக பார்த்துக் வகாண் டிருக்காது)"
  • d. The Chief Minister explained his stand on the practicing Hindus who followed Gurus like THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, "this government won't be a mute spectator, of those fickle-minded people who have fallen prey to the Swamis and are destroying the society (அவர்களிடம் பலியாகி ைமுதாயத்சத சீரழிக்கின் ற ைபல புத்தி உசடயவர்கசளயும் இந்த அரசு லவடிக்சக பார்த்துக்வகாண் டிருக்காது)"
  • e. The Chief Minister pleaded to the citizens, "those who really want these preachers to be eradicated should stand by and support the actions my government is taking (ஊருக்கு உபலதசிகசள ஒழித்துக் கட்ட லவண் டுவமன்று எண் ணுகின் ற ஒவ்வவாருவரும் இந்த அரசு எடுக்கின் ற நடவடிக்சககளுக்கு உறுதுசணயாக இருக்க லவண் டும் என்று லகட்டுக்வகாள்கிலறன்)".
  • In a similar interview, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Karunanidhi's gave an interview in Trichy, on March 3, 2010, wherein the context of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM he said, "Of late immorality has been rampant in Temples and Monasteries (லகாயில்கள், ஆசிரமங்களில் அத்துமீறல்கள் வகாஞ்ைம் அதிகமாகத்தான் நடக்கின் றன.). We will organize a meeting of the committees formed on behalf of the government and the Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments Department and

discuss taking actions to stop this. (இதை தடுக்க நடவடிக்கை எடுப்பது குறித்து அரசு சார்பிலும் அறநிலையத்துறை சார்பிலும் அமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள குழுக்கள் ஆலோசித்து முடிவு எடுக்கும்" என்று முதல்வர் கருணாநிதி கூறினார்)". On 12 April 2010, the parent organization of Karunanidhi the Dravida Kazhagam hosted a press meeting where the leader of the anti-Hindu terrorist K. Veeramani said, "Central and State governments should take criminal action against them. The crores of property they have earned through crooked means should be taken over by the government". The fabricated video of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM became a political justification for the State government to implement and execute anti-Hindu laws and executive orders that destroyed all Hindu temples in Tamil Nadu over the next decade. Earlier on 5 March 2010, anti-Hindu terrorist K. Veeramani had given an interview where he said in the context of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM and other Hindu Gurus, "If you probe them, they will ultimately end their life in jail. Almost national criminals."

  • 96. Following the statement of the Chief Minister, the very next day on 4 March 2010, the State Police of Tamil Nadu, filed fabricated accusations on THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM charging Him under section IPC 376 (rape) without mentioning anybody as a victim of rape. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM continued to be hounded by the Police of three States, the neo-Hindutva media, and the State intelligence for months. Within days, more than fifty ASMT temples and monasteries in different cities were attacked simultaneously and rapidly, some set on fire and shut down by atheist militants aiding the State Police. ASMT Hindu Deities were desecrated and burnt. Billboards and banners of ASMT Hindu Deities which were hung inside or nearby the ASMT temples were also set on fire throughout Tamil Nadu. ASMT Hindus, disciples, and devotees of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were beaten. Hindu female monks of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM were raped.
