CHENNAI, APRIL.11. The Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, today defended the decision to put up grilled cages around the statues of leaders including the late B.R.Ambedkar and Muthuramalinga Thevar at various places in the State. Responding to the plea from the deputy leader of the Congress Legislature Party, D.Yasodha, to remove the cages as it gave a wrong impression, Ms.Jayalalithaa told the Assembly that one of the factors contributing to communal peace prevailing in the State during the last four years was the decision to protect the statues with cages. Recalling the circumstances leading to the decision to adopt the strategy, she said earlier there had been caste clashes leading to law and order problem in the wake of disrespect shown by some miscreants to the statues. The Government asked the police to find ways to curb this trend. It decided to keep the miscreants at bay by putting up iron cages around the statues, following a suggestion from police officers, she said.
