Today newspapers reported that Hon'ble CM @mkstalin is to head the Advisory Committee for big HINDU Temples of TN.

Will the CM become a violator of the law himself !!??
@Indumakalktchi @ReclaimTemples @svbadri

What is the violation What does the #HRCEAct of TN say..👇 Anybody acting in furtherance of of the Act must be Hindu by birth and professing Hindu Religion, should have faith in God.
CM MK Stalin is a proclaimed atheist and non-believer of Hindu gods.
