Celebration of Thaipusam as one of the greatness of Hindu religion, late January 2010 in the Shri Mariamman Temple should not be a commodity politics.
This celebration is one of the holy day that greeted Hindus in the world to honor the god Murugan, or god Subramaniam. Therefore it is inappropriate used for the benefit of a group of people to achieve the desire of politics.
This was conveyed by the Chairman of DPP Association Youth Hindu (Peradah) North Sumatra, K Indra Gunawan ST to Analisa newspaper, Friday (22 / 1). Emphasized Indra Gunawan, if there are those who will go the election came to the largest temple of pride the people of North Sumatra. It will not be questioned young Hindus. As long as no carry-political interests.
“The young Hindus will protest loudly if something like that to happen”, he said. Indra who was called Kuna accompanied Benrasyid Wiria, Selwa Kumar, King Anan and the board that other concern, if the celebration of Hindu littered with political interests, can divide the unity that had been well maintained.
Moreover, he said, youth Hindu especially today felt very disappointed, having previously been providing support to the prospective head region. But once elected, no communication and attention again.
Introspection
Therefore, the Hindus expected can introspect themselves to more major progress than prefers self-interest and faction. On that occasion, Kuna also expected to little temples that implement Thaipusam, do not easily accept the team success or prospective from head region. Because it would lead to support.
“This condition is feared will make Hindus could fragmented and disrupt the unity and integrity”, he said. Then asked the team successful candidate regional head for not making a religious ritual of Hindu as a tool in their interests, despite their emotional closeness and personal with some of the characters.
According to Kuna, the celebration of religion should not be used as a tool to seek votes to get elected as the region and others. “If they want to perform, then show the high sportsmanship, so that people can be more wise and objective in determining the best option”, he explained. [source]
