PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss on Tuesday asked ‘when did M.K. Stalin turn into Murugan’ after The History of Lord Murugan, a special edition book released to commemorate a Lord Murugan conference held by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR and CE) Department recently, featured numerous photographs of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.

In a statement, Dr. Anbumani flagged the allegation that devotees who visited the Murugan temple in Palani were being forced to buy the book, priced at ₹2,700. “What’s worse, most of the pages are filled with the statements and photographs of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, and HR and CE Minister P.K. Sekarbabu,” he alleged.
