Ground Report: Murugan Devotees’ Conference or political rally?

On 22 June, a massive Murugan Devotees Conference took place in Madurai, spearheaded by Hindu Munnani and actively backed by the BJP Tamil Nadu.

This field report dives deep into the ground-level mobilisation for the event, through WhatsApp group invites, local TV channels, devotional networks, and even door-to-door campaigning.

While organisers claim it’s a spiritual gathering, opposition voices and legal petitions point to its strong political undertones.
