The yatra was scheduled to end at December 6, at the Thiruchendur Murugan Temple in Thoothukudi district. The BJP had claimed that the Vetri Vel Yatra is a mission to expose the “anti-Hindu” narrative and “minority appeasement” in the state.
The Tamil Nadu government has not given permission for the ‘Vetri Vel Yatra’ planned from November 6 to December 6. Earlier on Thursday, the government has informed the Madras High Court that the government will not allow the yatra considering the Covid-19 situation.
