Vanniarasu, a leader of DMK alliance partner Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), has given a clarion call for making Tamil Nadu a separate nation from India.
The VCK leader made the separatist call while addressing an event held in remembrance of Senkodi, the woman who self-immolated seeking the release of terrorists convicted of killing former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
“Today, to uphold Sanathanam (Hinduism), ‘they’ (referring to RSS-BJP) are trying to eliminate the depressed, most backward, and tribal people. Today, there is a lot of responsibility and need for us to fight against these forces of injustice. There is a need for us to go village by village. That is why our leader Ezhuchi Thamizhar (referring to VCK chief and Lok Sabha MP Thol. Thirumavalavan) on his birthday gave the proclamation for isolating the Sanathana forces and uniting ‘democratic forces’. From this year August 17 to next year August 17, we’re going to go village by village and fight the Sanatana forces. We’re looking towards youngsters driven by the ideologies of ‘Thanthai’ Periyar and revolutionary Ambedkar and mobilizing them. In this fight against these Sanatana forces, we won’t care to even lose our lives. VCK is fighting to defeat the Sanatana forces and to make Tamil Nadu trully a whole Tamil Nadu. “, Vanniaraasu said.
“On this death anniversary of Senkodi, independence… Tamil Nadu’s independence.. the rights of Tamils.. achieving Tamil Nadu as a separate nation from Indian Union.. that will be our pledge and duty towards Senkodi.”, the VCK leader said.
