There is no historical proof of Shriram’s existence : SS Sivasankar, TN Minister

DMK Minister SS Sivasankar (Speaking)

Chennai – There is no historical proof of Shriram’s existence. People have faith that Shriram was an ‘Avatar’ or manifestation of God himself. Avatar are not born. (Sivasankar (who is) ignorant of the meaning of word ‘Avatar’ has shown his intellectual depravity in this way ! – Editor.)  Minister of ruling DMK party of Tamil Nadu, SS Sivasankar made following distressing and baseless statement – Our history has been distorted. There are attempts being made to hide our history and present some other (erroneous) history in front of us. He was speaking at a programme commemorating the birth anniversary of King Rajendra, First king of Chaul kingdom, in Ariylur district near Chennai.

‘There is no historical evidence of Bhagwan Shri Ram’s existence!’ – Statement by Tamil Nadu’s ruling #DMK Minister S.S. Shivshankar

Sivasankar further stated,

King Rajendra Chol built lakes, constructed temples. Inscriptions and handwritten documents are found mentioning king Chol, but there is no historical proof found  regarding/ pertaining the existence of Shriram.

On the occasion of inaugurating Shriram mandir in Ayodhya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that Shriram was living there few thousand of years ago. In reality there is no historical proof found of the existence of Shriram. Therefore, this is not (real) history. Society has been misguided by making (such erroneous) claims about Shriram.

Why does DMK party hate Shriram so much? – BJP

K Annamalai

On statement of Sivasankar, BJP state president Annamalai said – Why does DMK party hate Shriram so much ? Why did they mention Shriram now only ? When a Sengol (sceptre of old times) of Chol kingdom was kept in the new parliament building, then these very people had (vehemently) opposed it. People who believe that the history of Tamil Nadu begins from the year 1967, are the ones who proclaim newfound love for the rich culture and history of the country. Is this not ridiculous ?

DMK’s sudden obsession with Bhagwan Shri Ram is truly a sight to behold—who would’ve thought?

DMK party was first established in the state in the year 1967.

Editorial Perspectives   

• There are many historical mentions found of existence of Shriram. In  addition, archaeology and astronomy also certify the existence of Shriram. DMK can’t digest the increasing eminence of Shriram and his devotees. That is why such statements are uttered by DMK leaders.
  

• There is no surprise if such statements are made by the leaders of Udhayanidhi Stalin’s DMK party, who himself had made statements hating  Sanatan like ‘Eradicate Sanatan dharma’, “Sanatan dharma is a disease akin to Dengue or malaria.’ !

• Will Sivasankar show any gumption of making similar statement regarding Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed ? If he does, he very well knows the repercussions of that.
