Tamil Nadu Congress leader Selvaperunthakai has requested the Tamil Nadu government to install a statue of late actor Sivaji Ganesan in Trichy.
In a statement issued by him in this regard, in response to the long-standing demand of Sivaji fans to erect a statue of late actor Thilakam Sivaji Ganesan in Tiruchi, a resolution was passed to erect a statue in the Tiruchirappalli Corporation. A full-length bronze statue was installed at the roundabout on 23-02-2011. After that, the announcement of assembly elections was interrupted so the opening ceremony did not take place. Then there was a regime change.
During the last ADMK rule, despite many requests from fans, attention-grabbing demonstration and signature drive led by Tamil Nadu Congress Art Wing President and Shivaji Social Welfare Council President Mr. K. Chandrasekaran, without any progress, the statue was covered with a sack bag at the same place last year. It was for 13 years. Meanwhile, in a case filed by a fan in the Madurai High Court to open the statue, the Tamil Nadu government has responded that according to the Supreme Court’s order, permission cannot be granted to open the statue on the road where the statue is currently installed.
In the Madurai High Court order, the idol of actor Sivaji Ganesan should be removed from its current location and installed at another prominent location. On the basis of the Supreme Court order regarding the installation of the statue and on the basis of the Madurai High Court order in the case regarding the statue of actor Thilakam Sivaji Ganesan installed in Trichy, I request that steps be taken to install the statue of actor Thilakam Sivaji Ganesan in Trichy in another important meeting.
Actor Thilakam Sivaji Ganesan, who made Tamil nation proud with his artistic talent, was a disciple of Perunthalaivar Kamaraj, was a pillar of the Congress party, and was a friend of Dr. Karansha, as his family lived in Trichy Sangiyandapuram when he was young, it is fitting that his statue should be erected in Trichy. On behalf of the Tamil Nadu Congress Party, I request you to erect a memorial and statue for all martyrs and artists, and to honor them, and take steps to install a statue of actor Thilakam Sivaji Ganesan at a prominent place in Trichy. mentioned.
