Thirumavalavan, Chief of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) who is also a Lok Sabha MP has fomented separatism by stating that a separate Tamil country should be the ultimate goal of Tamil nationalism ideology in Tamil Nadu.
The book release ceremony for ‘Thirumavin Sinthanai Kotpaadugal,’ written by J. Bharat, an Ambedkar Law College student, was held at the VCK head office in Chennai. Thirumavalavan participated in the event, released the book, and delivered a special address to the VCK cadres.
At the book launch event, many students from Ambedkar Law College joined the VCK party. In his speech, the VCK chief stated, “It has now become a situation that politics is for power, position and material gain. Very few are attracted because of political ideologies. Though they are less in number, they occupy the top post in all parties.”
“Dominance, oppression and exploitation are the enemies of the working people. These can take many forms, including caste, capitalism, feudalism, and family. “Adanga Maru, Aththu Meeru, Thiruppi Adi (do not succumb, violate the rules, hit back)” is not a slogan of violence. It is a slogan against violence. It is the slogan of all the oppressed in the world,” he added.
He concluded by saying, “VCK made a significant contribution to Tamil national movements. It has made possible what the major political parties could not. The ultimate goal of Tamil nationalism should be the establishment of a seperate country known as Tamil Nadu. Every state in India should develop nationalism through language, and the central government should serve as its union. Instead of a union of states, it should be a union of nationalities.”
The Hindu Munnani has called for arresting the Lok Sabha MP for his seditious remarks.
