TMMK criticises Gautier’s statement

CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhagam (TMMK) has criticised journalist Francois Gautier’s statement in a section of the press regarding the recent exhibition on Aurangzeb in Chennai.

In a release here, TMMK president M.H. Jawahirullah said Gautier’s allegation against the Prince of Arcot and the TMMK was enough to judge his sincerity and honesty in reporting history. A galaxy of Hindu historians had strongly refuted the version of Mughal history depicted by the likes of Gautier. When Gautier could not report a contemporary event faithfully and truthfully, one could very easily judge the veracity of his version of Mughal history depicted in his exhibition, he said. — Special Correspondent
