தீவு
திடலில் நடக்கும் 'சுற்றுலா வர்த்தக பொருட்காட்சிக்கு' சென்று இருப்பீர்கள். அங்கே உள்ள பல ஸ்டால்ல்களில் பொது மக்களை கவர்ந்து
இழுப்பது 'இந்து அறநிலையத்துறை' அரங்கம்.
கோவில்களை
பராமரிக்க என அறங்காவலர்களை நீக்கி அரசாங்கத்தால் உருகாக்கப்பட்டது இந்த 'இந்து அறநிலையத்துறை' ~ இதனுடைய முக்கிய நோக்கமே சில தனி மனிதர்கள் தங்கள்
வசம் கோவில்களை கொள்ளாமல், திருகோவில்தனது சொத்துக்களை பராமரித்து பரிமளிக்க செய்வதே
!
அப்படி
எனின் திருக்கோவில்களில் வரும் வருமானத்தை அரசு எப்படி தனதாக்கி கொள்ளலாம் ? அறநிலையத்துறை அதிகாரிகள் கார் வாங்கி பவனி வருபவதற்கா - புனித வள்ளல்கள்
அறக்கொடைகளை உருவாக்கினார் ? பொது மக்கள் இவர்களுக்காவகா
உண்டியலில் காணிக்கை செலுத்துகின்றனர். ??
~ திருக்கோவில்களில் இருந்து வாகனங்களையும்,
பெருமாளது உடைமைகளையும் வேறு இடத்திற்கு கொண்டு வந்து காட்சி பொருளுக்குவதற்க்கு இவர்களுக்கு
உரிமை அளித்தது யார் ? - மனம் வலிக்கிறது
- இதில் அற நிலையத்துறை அதிகாரிகளே சிலை திருட்டிலும் பங்கு உள்ளவர்களாம் !!
ஐயகோ ! இது என்ன வேதனை
!!!!
The
management and control of the temples and the administration of their
endowments is one of the primary responsibilities of the State !!! says its
website. [If so, does it
handle the administration of places of other worship ?] A number of
measures have been undertaken prior to the year 1925 for efficient control and
supervision of the administration of the Hindu Religious and Charitable
Endowments says the website of HRCE
In the Act 1 of
1925, the Government constituted " Hindu Religious and Charitable
Endowments Board" consisting of a President and two to four Commissioners
nominated by the Government to function as a statutory body. Subsequently, Act
1 of 1925 was repealed by the Act 2 of 1927, which was followed by several
modifications up to the year 1951.
If
the function is to administer a Temple, how can the funds of the temple be
diverted to various other activities which have no relation to religion or that
temple at all ? – Temples as great places of worship were built by
philanthropists, Kings and subjects to eulogise Hinduism and Gods – now in the
garb of HRCE – the revenue goes to the exchequer, revealing in the form of SUVs
for officials and temple lands gets donated.
Who gives the right to authorities to remove the Vahanams and other
paraphernelias of temple and keep them on exhibition elsewhere !! ~ but all
these would pale when you read of complicity in idol theft .. .. no simple
words of ordinary baktha – but reported in the mainline press including The Hindu
and Times of India :
one’s heart would bleed !!!
According to the
complainant – R. Venkatraman of K.K. Nagar in Chennai [யார்
இவரோ ? இவர் நீடுழி வாழ்க !!]
– five idols of Vinayakar, Pushpakarani, Valli, Theivanai and Chandrasekar
Amman, which were with Sri Viswanathaswamy Thirukkoil at Keezhmanakkudi and the
Vinayakar idol of Sri IdumbeswararThirukkoil at Srirangarajapuram were found to
have gone missing in 2013.
“Though officials knew that the idols were missing, they
deliberately didn’t disclose it. No complaint was lodged with the police,” the
complainant alleged.
The idol wing CID
of the state police has registered a case against 11 people, including seven
Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment (HR&CE) department officials, in
connection with the theft of six panchaloha idols from two temples in Thanjavur
district, including Pasupatheeshwarar temple at Pandanallur near
ThiruvidaiMarudhur. The priceless
idols date back nearly 1,500 years, said sources, adding that this was the
first time HR&CE officials have been booked in an idol theft case.
The Madras high
court recently re-appointed inspector general of police A G PonManickavel as
investigation officer in idol theft cases handled by the idol wing CID in spite
of his being transferred as IGP, railways. Pon Manickavel, who now holds
additional charge as investigation officer in the idol wing CID, and his team
swung into action and managed to identify idol smugglers and those who helped
them stealing the idols from the Pasupatheeshwarar temple, and Idumbeshwarar
temple at ShriRangarajapuram, in Thanjavur district.
Preliminary
inquiries revealed that HR&CE officials failed to bring the missing of the
idols, said to be worth several crores of rupees, to the notice of their
higher-ups. Inquiries revealed that K Kamaraj, executive officer of Arulmigu
Shree Pasupatheeshwarar Temple in Pandanallur, noticed that idols of Vinayagar,
Pushpakarani, Valli, Deivayani, Chandrasekar Amman of the Pandanallur temple,
and a Vinayagar idol of Idumbeshwarar temple were missing in 2013. However, he
failed to report this to his senior officers and gave a clean chit to the then
HR&CE commissioner.
As the officer
didn't even lodge a complaint at the local police station, he has been deemed
to have been deeply involved in the case. In a report submitted before the
Madras high court, the idol wing CID police officers said that they registered
a case against 11 CE officials, including Gajendran, joint commissioner of
HR&CE in Mayiladuthurai, Gnanasekaran, assistant commissioner of HR&CE
in Kumbakonam, K Kamaraj, executive officer of Pasupatheeshwarar temple, K Raja,
head clerk of the Pasupatheeshwarar temple, Sekar Gurukkal and
JagatheeshGurukkal, and a temple employee, apart from the trustees of the
Pasupatheeshwarar temple PasupathiPillai, ManoharPillai, Ramachandran and
Saravanan.
Based on the
complaint of R Venkataraman, 62, a resident of K K Nagar, the idol wing CID
registered a case under the IPC Sections 457 (2) (trespass), 380 (2) (theft)
and 202 (Intentional omission to give information of offence by person bound to
inform). The idol wing team has started investigating into the missing of the
stolen idols.
Tightening the
screw on the Tamil Nadu idol wing police who are in a spot after reports of
cops selling ancient panchaloka idols worth several crores of rupees emerged,
the Madras high court on Thursday asked the wing's inspector-general why the
erring officials had not yet been arrested. Kader Batcha, a deputy
superintendent of police with the wing, who has been named as kingpin in the
illegal sale of seized panchaloka idols is absconding while a sub-inspector of
police, Subburaj, has already been arrested.
The present
proceedings related to a public interest litigation filed by advocate Elephant
G Rajendran seeking transfer of the case to a neutral agency for an effective
and impartial probe.
Sad, indeed !! ~
