'தமிழகம் எங்கும் பொங்கட்டும் சமத்துவப் பொங்கல்' - பொன்னேரியில் நடைபெறும் சமத்துவ பொங்கல் விழாவில் உரை. https://t.co/03goZrcz6M

DMK president M.K. Stalin addressed a festive gathering at Ponneri during the statewide Samathuva Pongal celebrations, delivering a passionate appeal for social brotherhood and cultural unity. Stalin underscored that Samathuva Pongal is a distinctive progressive cultural tradition nurtured by the Dravidian movement, transforming a conventional harvest festival into a universal celebration of social equality where people of all communities, religions, and occupations celebrate together without caste prejudice.

Stalin emphasized that genuine social progress requires overcoming traditional social hierarchies and fostering mutual respect among all sections of the populace. He stated that the DMK has always championed cultural festivities that unite working people around shared human dignity rather than divisive orthodoxy. Stalin contrasted this egalitarian vision with conservative forces that seek to reinforce caste distinctions and social divisions across rural and urban settlements throughout the state.

The Ponneri public meeting saw enthusiastic participation from agricultural laborers, weaving families, local youth, and community elders. Stalin reaffirmed that an incoming DMK government will govern with deep secular, social justice values, ensuring that public administration remains a compassionate instrument for social upliftment and harmony across Tamil Nadu.
