T.N., Kerala should act as a double-barrelled gun in protecting India: Stalin

Chief Minister MK Stalin on Friday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi who began his tenure by calling the Constitution his Veda has failed to walk the talk and has been acting against the Constitution.

Addressing Media Meet 2023 organised by the Kerala Media Academy and Malayalee Associations of Chennai in the city on Friday, the CM said the Prime Minister, who bowed before Parliament and hailed the Constitution as his Veda after assuming office, failed to keep his words. “People from all walks of life must oppose this,” the CM said.

“Tamil Nadu and Kerala should act as double-barrelled gun to give a new dawn to the nation. Similarly, media should eschew from false propaganda and diversionary tactics and must work like the media during the freedom struggle,” Stalin said. Stating that Tamil and Malayalam are Dravidian languages, Stalin said the word Dravidam has become a cause of irritation for some.

“The very utterance of the word Dravidam has become a cause of irritation for those who are inimical to equality.” “Now, the principle of unity in diversity, plurality, and secularism of the country are in peril. Efforts are on to destroy India by destroying these. We, the political parties, are opposing this trend strongly in the political arena. I request the media to contribute their might to this task of protecting the country,” Stalin said.
