CHENNAI, JAN.11. The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, today informed the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, that it was "part of the process of law" that the junior Sankaracharya of the Kanchi Mutt, Sri Vijayendra Saraswathi, was arrested in the Sankararaman murder case on Monday. She claimed that it was "incorrect and unfounded" to connect the arrests of the two Sankaracharyas with the tradition of the daily puja at the Mutt. An official release said that Ms. Jayalalithaa had replied to Dr. Singh's letter dated January 6 "drawing attention to the apprehension" that if the junior Acharya was also taken into custody, it might lead to disruption of the daily puja. The Prime Minister's Office had also indicated that Dr. Singh brought up the issue when he met Ms. Jayalalithaa here on January 7. She had assured the Prime Minister that all precautions had been taken and all aspects taken into consideration. The Chief Minister said today that there had been innumerable occasions when both the Sankaracharyas were away from the Mutt. On such occasions, arrangements were made for the conduct of the daily puja. Referring to the apprehensions that Sri Jayendra Saraswati's's arrest on November 11 would hurt the people's sentiments, she said the public appreciated the Government's principled stand that all were equal before law.
