SALEM: Dalit Panthers of India, an ally of the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu, today said it would blow off the Ram Setu if it hindered the implementation of Sethusamudram Ship Canal Project.
"If Ram Setu was a hindrance for the Sethusamudram project, we would blast it off," DPI leader Thol Tirumavalavan said while addressing a meeting here.
He alleged that the BJP was engaged in "double-talk" with regard to Ram Setu issue.
"BJP brought the project and now they were trying to stall it," he said adding that the project was "essential" for the development and trade.
He was addressing around 2000 DPI cadres who had assembled to stage a forced entry into the Draupadiamman temple here, which had been locked up for over an year following a dispute between scheduled caste people of the area and those belonging to a particular community.
Tirumavalavan, along with many of his partymen were taken into custody by the police, but were released later.
