Andal row: I will continue my protest till Vairamuthu comes to Srivilliputhur and apologises, mutt head says

MADURAI:

Sri Manavala Mamunigal mutt

head Ramanuja Sadagopar, who has been protesting against

Tamil

lyricist Vairamuthu’s comments on Hindu deity Andal, on Tuesday said that his protest will continue till the poet comes to Srivilliputhur and apologises.

Andal is the main deity of the Srivilliputhur temple. “Andal will make him come here and apologise,’’ the

seer

said.

Earlier, the editor of the Tamil daily that published the essay in which Vairamuthu made the controversial remark on Andal, arrived in Srivilliputhur and tendered his apology to the Ramanuja Sadagopar. The seer accepted the apology. However, the mutt head said he would continue his protest till Vairamuthu apologises in person.
