DMK working president M.K. Stalin issued a stern warning on March 20, 2018, declaring that DMK cadres will mount sleepless, round-the-clock security across Tamil Nadu to safeguard statues of Dravidian icon Thanthai Periyar if the state police fail to guarantee adequate protection. Stalin spoke out following escalating threats and cowardly attacks by reactionary elements targeting historical memorials of the social reformer who dedicated his entire life to liberating oppressed communities from caste tyranny.

Stalin asserted that the DMK will never tolerate insults directed at the self-respect movement's foundational pioneer. He declared that communal extremists and anti-social cowards attempting to vandalize Periyar's legacy would face resolute democratic resistance and be expelled from the state's progressive public sphere. Stalin criticized the state administration for failing to deploy proactive security measures despite explicit intelligence warnings.

The DMK leader called upon party volunteers to maintain vigilant, disciplined watchfulness across every neighborhood and town square. He reiterated that Periyar's rationalist ideology remains an unshakeable fortress defending human dignity, equal rights, and social justice. Stalin affirmed that the Dravidian movement will aggressively defend its historical heritage against all divisive forces.
