‘Case against Acharya fabricated by her police’: Subramanian Swamy

The Janata Party president, Subramanian Swamy, says he will prosecute the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, if her Government loses the case against the Kanchi Shankaracharya, Sri Jayendra Saraswati.

Talking to newspersons here after meeting the Acharya at Kalavai on Thursday, Dr. Swamy said that a perusal of Ms. Jayalalithaa’s detailed statement in response to the criticism of her handling of the Sankararaman murder case (in which Sri Jayendra Saraswati has been arrested and is out on bail) and the Supreme Court orders on his bail petition “revealed that the case is weak and fabricated.”

He wanted the Government to desist from filing the charge sheet in the case and even withdraw it.

S. M. Pasha, president of the Tamil Nadu Muslim Makkal Katchi who met the Shankaracharya in Kalavai, told the newspersons that a memorandum would be submitted on behalf of Muslims to the Governor, Surjit Singh Barnala, in Chennai on Friday, opposing any move to take over the ancient Shankara Math.
