I have been posting blogs on Jayendra Sarasvati and his involvement in the Sankararaman Murder case.
My point has been there is enough evidence that he is guilty.
Lest people I am blindly attacking Jayendrar, I am posting excerpts from S.Gurumurthy‘s article in defence of Jayendrar.
Why is it the arrest of Jayendrar construed as an attack on the Mutt?
In the soundbytes Vijayendrar’s implications are left unanswered.
The article speaks of framing, by the Political Parties, without specifying the party except saying Dravidian.
Jayendrar was arrested during Jayalalithaa‘s tenure as CM.
Jayalalithaa as every one knows is very devout and has been admirer of the Kanchi Mutt and the Maha Periyava,
She had also attended Poojas with Jayendrar present.
She, being a Brahmin, what axe she has to grind against a Brahmin Mutt?
One can understand if it is Kaunanidhi, with his pathological hatred of Hindus, Brahmins in particular.
New Indian Has declared that’The Case is Dead’ says Gurumurthy.
On what grounds?
I am unable to locate the article in the web.
Can someone forward me the news item?
People can not simply say ‘I am framed’ without saying , at least why?
Who stands to benefit?
Jayalalithaa?
Ridiculous.
On the contrary she lost Kanchi Mutt Brahmin Votes and provided Karunanidhi to pose as beacon of Brahmins!
Nobody bothers to ask the questions I have asked in my post’ Jayendra Saraswati Acquittal, Baffling”
”
The first article titled “As the Sankaracharya stands like Abhimanyu” [NIE 23.11.2004] captured the Dravidian political and secular media theatre in the state which were hounding the hapless Acharya stung and stunned by the heinous charge against him.
The Acharya was damaged more by the false news items planted by the police which the willing secular media and Dravidian megaphones lapped up to defame and discredit the Acharya. Another article titled “Unless the Case is Reinvestigated, Justice will not be Done” [26.11.2004] detailed how on the procured testimonies of hardened criminals the state was telling the judiciary that the Sankaracharya was “the worst criminal”. The fourth article dated 3.12.2004 was on how the case had ceased to be an investigation into a crime and had become a vicious campaign to demolish the Acharya himself. The article ended thus: “Even if, at the end, I am entirely proved wrong, I cannot shirk my duty to alert the public and sensitise the authorities about the destruction of too many values involved in this investigation which is gradually turning into a battle between the silent and silenced Kanchi Mutt on the one hand and police and its associate, the media megaphones on the other. It is no more an investigation into crime….it is now a larger design to defame and discredit the Mutt itself.” The final article titled “Will the Secular Media Heed Justice Reddy’s Warning?” appeared on January 14, 2005. This article was on the judgment of Justice Narasimha Reddy of the Andhra Pradesh High Court before whom a frivolous writ had been filed by some labour union on the basis of media reports linking some deaths [which had taken place six years ago on the premises of a mill, from where the Acharya had been arrested] to the Acharya.
Disposing of the writ, the judge said the petitioner swayed by the media did not want to lag behind in the unprecedented process of denigration of the Kanchi Mutt, an ancient, prestigious and glorious institution with almost a 2,500-year history. He added that it was sad that an institution of such glory was targeted and persecuted in an organised manner in an independent country, by “not only individuals, but also a section of the institutions, such as the State and the Press”. He also noted that the proponents of human rights, fair play and dignity to individuals and institutions have maintained stoic silence, adding “a powerful section is celebrating or watching it with indifference” the “perfidy against the Mutt” that had shocked the nation and beyond”. He noted that the “amount of disrepute and sacrilege inflicted on Sri Jayendra Saraswathi has no comparables adding that harshest possible words were used directly or in innuendo against him” and “today he is subjected to similar treatment as was Draupati in the Court of Kauravas”. That was the state of the Acharya and the Mutt when The New Indian Express stood for truth against tsunami of vicious campaign against the Acharya…
The reward for these articles was an arrest warrant against me and almost a search on The New Indian Express and even the Thuglak magazine, which had carried the Tamil version of the articles. As usual the judiciary came to the rescue and passed orders restraining the state. I was questioned by the Superintendent of Police who led the investigation. When I asked him why he was suspecting the Acharya to be the offender, he said that the victim had been sending highly offensive letters to the Acharya and therefore he had a motive to eliminate him. I asked him whether he thought of the possibility of someone inimical to the Acharya eliminating the victim to put the blame on the Acharya. He was blank.

dharma prevailed….no worst kali yug started…thank god
who killed sankararaman?who framed jayendra?who intimidated jayendra?jayendra must have had some knowledge of the last?he should have come out with his knowledge soon after arrest instead of getting himself intimidated;
Then who attacked Radhakrishnan even in 2002? If someone inimical to HJS killed Sankararaman so that HJS can be accused, how about Radhakrishnan attack even in 2002?
It is obvious there was a systematic method of assaulting persons who created trouble to the Mutt at least from 2002. And then gangsters like Appu were seen visiting the Mutt during this period.
In fact I would like to know whether there were phone calls from gangsters to HJS during any of these months?
I have also made a similar posting on a related topic on this blog.
Giving clean chit to HJS is not justified
Nobody seems to have checked the call records at the mutt both landline and Mobile.
Who all have Mobiles, that is those near him?
Did some one check Appu, Kathiravan and Sundaresa Iyer Mobile call records,for that matter Vijayndra and those near him>
