Relentless pressure. Repeated letters. And finally, approval.

After months of delay, the Union Government has cleared archaeological excavations at 8 sites including #Keeladi. This is a win earned through DMK’s persistent efforts.

But we are not done. The Union BJP Government is still sitting on the Keeladi excavation report. We will not stop until that too is out.

தொடர் அழுத்தத்தாலும், கடிதங்களாலும் கீழடி உள்ளிட்ட 8 இடங்களில் அகழ்வாராய்ச்சி மேற்கொள்வதற்கான ஒன்றிய அரசின் ஒப்புதலைப் பெற்றுள்ளோம். பல மாதங்கள் தாமதத்துக்குப் பின்பு, நமது விடாமுயற்சிக்குக் கிடைத்த வெற்றி இது!

அடுத்து, ஒன்றிய பா.ஜ.க. அரசு வெளியிடாமல் நிறுத்தி வைத்திருக்கும் #கீழடி ஆய்வறிக்கையையும் வெளியிட வைப்போம்!

Editorial context

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced that the Union Government has approved archaeological excavations at eight sites, including the Keeladi site, after months of delay, crediting the approval to DMK's sustained pressure and repeated letters to the Centre. He said the effort was not yet complete, noting that the Union BJP Government continues to withhold the Keeladi excavation report and that DMK would keep pushing until it too is released. The tweet frames the excavation approval as a Centre-State issue, presenting the delay and the still-unreleased report as evidence of Union Government reluctance regarding findings from the Keeladi site, which has been central to debates over Tamil Nadu's ancient history. No further detail on the other seven sites or a timeline for the report's release is given in the tweet.
