Our revered and much loved saint Khalwath Nayagam from Keelakarai is dearer to us than our own families.. One Shamsudeen Qasimi who is the current Chief Imam of the Makkah Masjid in Chennai has been speaking in an irreverent and derogaratory manner about our dear Khalwath muthuvappa as most of us address him. This has caused enormous sadness in our hearts and our sentiments have been deeply hurt. Thousands of people listen to his less-than-scholarly speeches and are influenced by it. As such, we demand an immediate apology to be issued by him publicly . We request the Government of Tamil Nadu to please help us in bringing about a remedy for the wrong he has done and the damage caused by his defamation. He should be removed from the post of Imam of Makkah Masjid
