Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin paid homage to the towering Dravidian ideologue and former DMK General Secretary, Professor K. Anbazhagan, on his birth anniversary. Invoking evocative verses penned by former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, Stalin remembered Anbazhagan as an unshakeable ideological pillar whose political clarity and intellectual prowess protected the Dravidian movement against reactionary conspiracies and social divisiveness.

Stalin reflected on Anbazhagan’s profound influence on his personal political development, describing him as a revered mentor whose principled guidance helped shape his vision of public service. Throughout his decades of public life, Professor Anbazhagan remained steadfastly loyal to the core tenets of Thanthai Periyar and Perarignar Anna, dedicating his entire career to social justice, state autonomy, and educational advancement for underprivileged sections of society.

The Chief Minister reaffirmed that the Dravidian Model governance carries forward Professor Anbazhagan’s ideological blueprint by guaranteeing inclusive welfare, rationalist thought, and equal opportunities across Tamil Nadu. He emphasized that honoring the memory of such stalwart pioneers strengthens the moral foundation of the party and inspires modern administrative efforts to resist centralizing tendencies while championing federalism and social equality.
