Madurai witnessed a touching encounter as PM Narendra Modi consoled the family of Lord Murugan devotee Thiru Purna Chandran. Mother Kalishwari opened up to IANS about the PM’s promise to stand by them like kin, amid ongoing political tensions.
Invited specially, the family—including bahu and potes—experienced Modi’s dignified warmth. Condoling Chandran’s demise at Deepam time, he pledged, ‘I’ll care for you always as a father and mother would.’
Kalishwari thanked BJP workers for aid from day one and others for support. Echoing on X, Modi mourned Chandran while indicting DMK’s heartlessness: ‘Whatever they attempt, truth wins, and Murugan’s bhakts prevail.’
Indumati and sons were part of the meeting. Recall: Chandran’s December suicide followed hilltop Deepam lighting protests, ignoring High Court stay.
Targeting DMK post-visit, Modi declared truth’s ultimate win. This episode reveals Modi’s empathy-driven politics, contrasting with state apathy, and reaffirms faith in justice for the faithful.
