If Periyar or his followers were against all religious worships whether idol or not, why they are not erecting a Periyar statue with inscriptions rediculing religious minded people in front of a famous mosque or church but only in front of a famous hindu shrine like Srirangam? I know they can not offend minorities or else they will be wiped out by terrorist forces in no time. All hypcrites. Periyar had good ideas for reformation and but his stupid followers are making use of it for their own selfish needs.
