The DMK youth wing secretary and MLA Udayanidhi Stalin will unveil a life size bronze statue of Perumpidugu Mutharayar at Anaiyur in Madurai on March 19, said Minister for Commercial Taxes and Registration P. Moorthy here on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters, he said that a couple of years ago, the decision to install Mutharayar statue was mooted by the DMK following representations from the Mutharayar community members. However, the previous regime had kept the project in cold storage.
When the DMK was in the Opposition, it had approached the HC Bench in this regard and based on the directions, the statue was now being installed, he explained and added that the Mutharayar community had thanked Chief Minister M. K. Stalin for taking steps in this regard.
