Ayodhya: Pleased with his recent remarks on Ram, a group of backward and scheduled caste sadhus and mahants of Ayodhya have decided to honour Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, M. Karunanidhi with the title of ‘Shudra Samrat’ (King of Shudras).
A delegation of sadhus of the Shudra community from Ayodhya will go to Tamil Nadu after Gandhi Jayanti to felicitate Karunanidhi, mahant Jugal Kishore Sharan Shastri, convenor of a social movement forum called Ayodhya Ki Awaaz said.
"We are the supporters of Karunanidhi because he is espousing the cause of the Shudras. For the VHP, BJP and RSS Ram, an upper caste king, is the only symbol of religion", Shastri said.
