You have voiced the long-standing arguments of Tamils in the Parliament, which rest on the unique cultural and political roots that value Self Respect. (2/2)
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin expressed heartfelt appreciation to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for articulating the longstanding political arguments and civilizational dignity of the Tamil people on the floor of the Lok Sabha. Stalin highlighted that Tamil Nadu's collective political identity rests upon deep cultural and historical roots that prioritize human dignity, rationalism, and self-respect above feudal hierarchies.
The Chief Minister emphasized that India can function harmoniously only when the Union Government respects the distinct linguistic identities, historical legacies, and democratic aspirations of all constituent states. He noted that Gandhi's parliamentary intervention effectively captured the essence of the Indian Constitution, which conceives the republic not as a centralized monolith, but as an indissoluble Union of States founded upon mutual consultation and consensus. Stalin observed that suppressing regional diversity weakens national unity.
Stalin reaffirmed that Tamil Nadu's political tradition will consistently resist centralizing tendencies through democratic solidarity with progressive national leaders. He pledged that the DMK will continue championing cooperative federalism and linguistic equality, ensuring that the self-respect of Tamil people and all linguistic communities remains fully safeguarded across India.
