The hill of Thirupparankundram didn’t just echo with slogans today — it shook. A court’s decision to lift Section 144 has triggered a street-level uprising of residents, Islamic organisations, and DMK supporters who’ve drawn a clear line: Right-wing groups will not be allowed to march in and rewrite the script of peace. What unfolded was a rare moment — the people standing firm, the police squeezed in the middle, and the air crackling with warnings of “consequences.”
1. When the police Announced the Appeal, Fireworks Erupted on the Ground
As officers informed locals that the state is preparing to challenge the lifting of Section 144, the crowd exploded. Far from passive listeners, the people of Thirupparankundram responded with a single message — loud, unified, unshakable: “We will not allow them!”
2. A Furious Chorus of Voices Filled the Hillside
Residents, Islamic groups, and DMK cadres packed the streets, turning a routine police briefing into a thunderous standoff. Every shout reverberated with anger toward those trying to disrupt a century-long peace:
“We won't allow right-wing groups here!”
It wasn’t just a protest — it was a declaration.
3. ‘We'll Face the Consequences’: The Public Draws a Fearless red Line
When the police warned the crowd of potential fallout, the response was electric.
“Let it come. We’ll face it.”
No hesitation, no retreat. This was the voice of a community refusing to be intimidated by either court orders or Hindutva mobilisation.
4. A court Order May Have Lifted the 144 Ban — But the people Reinforced Their Own
While the court says gatherings can resume, the streets have spoken a different truth. The people of Thirupparankundram have imposed their own red line — a civic blockade grounded not in hostility but in fear of orchestrated disruption.
5. The Tension Has Now Become a Symbol of a Larger Battle
This isn’t just about a ritual site anymore. It’s a clash between:
Local residents defending their harmony
A state preparing to appeal a controversial judicial rollback
Right-wing groups are trying to claim symbolic ground
Thirupparankundram has become a microcosm of the ideological war rippling across the country.
6. The Slogans Didn’t Just Rise — They Tore Through the Sky
“Valadhu saarigalukku idam illai!”
The roar tore through the evening air — defiant, determined, and impossible to ignore. The message was clear: no force, political or judicial, will be allowed to unsettle Thirupparankundram.
7. The police Stand on a Tightrope Moment
Caught between escalating public anger and the court’s directive, the police warned of “consequences.” But the people weren’t buying it. They stood their ground — ready for what comes next, ready to challenge what they view as an ideological intrusion.
8. Thirupparankundram’s Streets Are Now Its Own Courtroom
And the verdict is unmistakable:
The public refuses to surrender peace to political opportunism.
