MADURAI: Respecting the national symbols, reverence for freedom fighters and always remembering our great Bharath Matha are certain duties to be compulsorily followed by every Indian.
A great initiative has been taken by Mr.T.Dhevanathan Yadav founder of Indhiya Makkal Kalvi Munnetra Kazhagam (IMKMK) who is installing a statue of deity Bharath Matha in a very special way.
He addressed the media at the Chennai Press Club in Chennai on October 12th 2017 to explain about his plan for the Bharath Matha statue.
Permission will be sought from the State Government to instal this Bharath Matha statue at Marina Beach in Chennai. Work will commence soon to collect the soil and ready the statue and plan is to unveil the statue on August 15th next year.
The proposed statue is special because there is holiness behind it. Soil comes from 108 places across the country where our country’s national stalwarts / freedom fighters belongs to and with this soil the statue takes shape.
