The Sangh Parivar activists call it the ‘Ayodhya of South’. But for ages, it has been known as Thiruparankundram, less than 10 km from Madurai in Tamil Nadu. The place derives its name from Lord Murugan – thiru (venerable) paran (referring to Lord Murugan), and kundram (hill).

Bihar's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voters' list and Rahul Gandhi's allegations of its manipulation by the election commission of India to help BJP win elections have turned into a major political issue that have united all the opposition parties.

The matter is no more confined to the Supreme Court and legal procedures. The opposition has decided to hit the road to force the commission's hands to order a comprehensive probe into the allegation across the country.

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi along with several other opposition leaders took out a protest march on Monday from Parliament House to the Election Commission office against the revision of electoral rolls in Bihar and manipulation of voters list as alleged by Rahul but they were stopped midway by the police and detained.
