Mr @Swamy39 has claimed to be the last-minute savior of Ram Setu from an imminent demolition

How true are these claims? Did Swamy actually aid in stopping such an event of destruction? Did he have any role in Ram Setu case? Let's put out facts & you decide! 1/n

#BoastLikeSwamy
On 31.8.2007 the Supreme Court had issued an order seeking govt's response by 14.9.2007

There is no evidence, news article or any proof to support the fact that Congress would've demolished the Ram Setu & that @Swamy39 stopped it through court's order.

In Supreme Court's order from 17.07.2007, we can see that there were two petitioners in Ram Setu case:

1. Rama Gopalan
2. Subramanian Swamy

The petition of Rama Gopalan was transferred from High Court to Supreme Court

HC had sought reply from govt. on whether they had undertaken any archaeological survey of the Ram Setu site.

Since the case was transferred, govt had to now file a response to Supreme Court.

Congress govt in its affidavit to SC said that there was no evidence to prove the existence of Lord Rama & that Ram Setu was not man-made

BJP leaders like Ravi Shankar Prasad immediately condemned Congress's statements. Protests erupted across the nation! 5/n

Top BJP leaders like Sh. LK Advani asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh & Congress chief Sonia Gandhi to apologize for their blasphemous affidavit on Ram Setu that had hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus

Now coming back to @Swamy39, he has always claimed that BJP was not involved in the fight for Ram Setu at all & that he was the sole crusader of Hindus & Lord Rama!!

DMK supporters lost cool & attacked the BJP's office in Chennai

BJP was facing the wrath from all sides for supporting the Ram Setu cause against DMK leader Karunanidhi who wanted it to be demolished for building the Sethusamudram project

#BoastLikeSwamy
Jayalalitha wanted Ram Setu to be declared as a National Monument

At Ram Setu rally in Dec'07, @Swamy39 said Jayalalitha supported it coz she was an Indian & not a “vishkanya from Italy" & read out a message from her

Later this cause got hijacked too! 12/n

#BoastLikeSwamy
Congress wanted DMK's support in vote of confidence.

So in order to please Karunanidhi, Congress in 2008 said "Lord Rama himself destroyed the Setu & it was no longer a place of worship" & that it will go forward with the canal project.

Who is complicit?

#BoastLikeSwamy
Throughout it was BJP & its leaders who protested against Sonia Gandhi's anti-Hindu govt on the demolition of Ram Setu

Sensing widespread outrage & with 2009 polls coming up, Congress took a back foot so as to avoid a repeat of Ayodhya level movement by BJP 14/n
