Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin dismissed charges against the state government over lighting a lamp at Thiruparakundram hill during the Karthigai Deepam festival and said those calling the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government 'anti-spiritual' have ulterior motives.

Addressing an event at Madurai on Sunday, Stalin said the lamp was lit at Thiruparankundram hill as per tradition, and the DMK government has done more for temples and Hinduism compared to other governments.
