Chennai, Feb 9 (Reporter) Leaders of the ruling DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) in Tamil Nadu on Sunday accused the BJP, RSS, VHP and other right wing organisations of dividing the people on religious lines and pledged to uphold secularism and the unity of the people.

This is evidenced by the fact that people of all religions worship at all the places of worship in the State, including the Palaniandavar Temple at hilltop of Palani, one of the six abodes of Lord Mururai, the Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple, the Annai Velankanni Temple, the Nagore Dargah, and the Ervadi Dargah, they said. Stating that in Tamil Nadu, some organizations are continuously making efforts to sow religious differences and divide the people for political gains, they said it has become a routine for the BJP and its affiliates, the RSS, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and other right-wing organizations to systematically divide people on religious lines and seek political gain from it.
