New Delhi, Jan 28: The Supreme Court on Monday tagged the petition filed by former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Ram Setu issue along with other petitions. Jayalalithaa had filed the petition in the SC, seeking directions to the authorities to take an alternative route to complete the Setusamudram Project so that Ram Setu is not damaged.

The apex court also directed the AIADMK supremo to approach the UPA government at the Centre in connection with her demand to declare Ram Setu, which is also known as Adam's Bridge, a monument of national heritage.

Jayalalithaa has contended that the expert committee had suggested six alternative routes for completing the bridge linking coasts of Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka for saving navigation time of ships.

JJayalalitha cannot show the monument of Ram Sethu anywhere in the Sethusamudram, but the history and archaeology of Iran and other nations can concretely point out records and monuments of where her ancestors really came from, of which she and her like are in denial, the religious terminologies and names can not be erased such as "Ashwamedha" and so on and so forth. What are these stalwart ladies like herself and Hema Malini angling for? Nothing but being He women for their kind, and bringing shame upon their fair and glorious past. -Syed Azmathullah Khaderi - Chennai

A great order for the mental lady JJ who has no conscern for the developement. All her actions and statements are politically motivated with the sole intention to capture the power in Tamilnadu and to loot the proper Tamilians. Hats off to Supreme Court direction Shivaji -Shivaji - Califrnia
