Speaking at the “Defeat Sanatana Forces” protest held at Valluvar Kottam in Chennai, VCK MP Thol. Thirumavalavan accused Tamil Nadu BJP leaders and Governor Ravi to have been trained to speak in a specific manner to instigate tension among the people of the state.
Thirumavalavan said that members of the BJP in Tamil Nadu have allegedly been engaging in provocative activities such as painting the robes of the revered poet Thiruvalluvar saffron and disfiguring statues of EV Ramasamy Naicker (EVR). All this, he said, were attempts to provoke the followers of the said figures. Thirumavalavan also claimed that BJP members have been attempting to transform the iconic social reformer BR Ambedkar into a Hindutva symbol, despite his well-known disavowal of Hinduism and Hindu gods. These actions, he argued, are intended to incite tension and potentially lead to violence, as well as insulting the legacies of Thiruvalluvar, Ambedkar, and EVR. The TN BJP has been accused of being responsible for these incidents, as well as relentlessly criticising the state government. He said that the BJP cadre did not respect the beliefs and ideologies of these leaders who had rejected Hinduism in different ways.
The death of jawan Prabhu in a family dispute has sparked a political row in Tamil Nadu, with BJP blaming the state government and DMK tacitly defending it. Thirumavalavan, a DMK ally, slammed BJP for politicising the issue and ignoring the welfare of the jawan’s family. He also accused BJP of rewarding people like Pragya Thakur for her alleged involvement in the Malegaon blasts. He alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and RSS were behind the Godhra train burning that killed karsevaks and the subsequent riots that targeted Muslims, citing a BBC documentary as evidence. He claimed that Modi was the mastermind behind BJP’s actions, regardless of who the party leader or RSS chief was.
He mentioned that “3000 Muslims” were killed during the riots that followed the Godhra train burning incident, including killing pregnant women and their unborn children just because they happened to be Muslims. He also linked Adani to Modi and accused them of corruption. He praised BBC and Hindenberg for exposing Modi’s misdeeds.
He lauded Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra and said that it received huge public support in every place he visited. He alleged that the mainstream media ignored this due to the Modi government’s influence.
RSS: Drinkers Of Cow Urine
VCK leader Thol. Thirumavalavan criticised the RSS ideology as being based on Manusmriti. He contrasted it with his own party’s ideology of ‘social justice’ and ‘equality’. He also mocked the RSS followers for drinking cow urine and discarding milk, calling it a sign of their stupidity and superstition.
He also has alleged that Brahmins are exploiting non-Brahmin leaders like Narendra Modi and Amit Shah to further their Hindutva agenda. He chastised Sangh Parivar for venerating Veer Savarkar while ignoring other reformers like Basavanna, Dayanand Saraswati, and Vallalar who allegedly challenged the Brahminical orthodoxy.
Isolation Of Brahmins: Single Point Agenda From Buddha To Ambedkar
Thirumavalavan also tried to draw distinctions between the spiritual values of Hinduism and the supposed hateful ideology of Hindutva espoused by the Sangh Parivar. He said that Hindutva was aimed at creating communal disharmony and violence among different groups of people.
He stated that the isolation of Brahmins has been a common action plan among various reformers throughout history, from the times of Buddha to the era of EV Ramasamy Naicker (hailed as Periyar by his followers)and Ambedkar. According to him, the principles and goals of Brahmins have been detrimental to humanity, leading to the oppression and differentiation of people based on class and status.
Everyone Except Brahmins Is Bahujan
Thirumavalavan went on to say that all communities other than Brahmins belong to the Bahujan category. He said that OBCs, SCs/STs, transgender people, differently-abled people, marginalised communities, Christians, and Muslims are all part of the Bahujan community. He implied that Brahmins are a minority and a privileged group in India.
He alleged that Brahmins were hiding behind the curtain called Hindutva and used non-Brahmin leaders to propagate their agenda. He named Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, L Murugan, and Annamalai as examples of non-Brahmin faces who are working for Brahminical interests. He said that the Brahmins used Varnashrama Dharma and Sanatana Dharma as a shield to avoid menial jobs like making cow dung cakes, selling appalams, carrying a load, or selling vegetables. This motivated them to stay in power and promote hate politics.
The Constitution Is Ambedkar Smriti
He went on to say that the constitution was in fact, Ambedkar Smriti which destroys the ancient Sanatan and Brahminical India and also builds a Modern India at the same time. He asserted that Brahmins were the Aryans who entered India through Khyber Pass with their cattle and were called Indu by Europeans, meaning “thief”. He argued that the term Hindu only applies to Brahmins and not to people like Annamalai who he said was wasting his energy for ‘them’.
Ambedkar’s Works Would Have Made Annamalai Join DMK
He said that Annamalai would have joined DMK had he read Ambedkar’s works but he joined BJP instead. He added that Annamalai has no place in VCK because he cannot trust anyone who has been in BJP for even 10 days. He urged PM Modi to read Ambedkar’s book Annihilation of Caste and in the same sentence accused him of doing the Brahmins’ dirty work. He went on to claim that Modi was awarded the PM post because he killed 3000 Muslims in Gujarat during the Godhra riots and that he would not have qualified for the post had he talked about EVR, Ambedkar, or democracy.
Will Drive BJP Out Of TN
He continued to speak about H Raja and how his language was, blaming the training by RSS for that and the fact that he was a Brahmin. Annamalai, Thiruma said, spoke like a mature individual but spoke rubbish, and didn’t give respect when he spoke about DMK leaders or EVR.
He went on to challenge BJP and said that the ideological fight was not between DMK and BJP but between BJP and VCK and challenged them to a debate. He also challenged Annamalai that VCK would chase the party out of the state and that BJP will not be able to secure even one seat. He said that a post/position is not what he was desirous of, he considered a post to be equivalent to the hair on his head and even renounced his MP seat within 2 years. He said he was not greedy for position and would even renounce the party post but he would never stop fighting against BJP and its ideals. That he would continue to expose them and their ideology since fighting against Sanatana Dharma was Ambedkar’s, and EVR’s motto.
Adani Is Modi’s Benami
He urged the Tamil Nadu state govt to not ignore the unrest and tension that BJP was trying to create in the state. He accused Annamalai of instigating violence and targeting leaders like Veeramani. He questioned if the Tamil Nadu state police were under the control of the central govt and Amit Shah and that it would have been so if it was the ADMK govt. He also said that VCK would never join hands with PMK and BJP and that VCK preferred to join the DMK based on their ideology. He called on his followers to fight corrupt people like Adani and not target innocent labourers from the north. He asked the followers to fight Brahminism, Indian nationalism, Hindu nationalism, casteism, and loot by people like Adani (who he called Modi’s Benami).
Wishing Tamil Nadu CM, MK Stalin on his birthday, Thirumavalavan asked him to be true to the goal of destroying Sanatana Dharma. He accused BJP of causing unrest between communities and warned Stalin that the state government would be blamed if he turned a blind eye to this.
Thirumavalavan contrasted Veer Savarkar’s apology letters with Jawaharlal Nehru’s resistance during their jail years. He also claimed that Hindutva was the reason for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. He said, despite Gandhi being an ardent devotee of Lord Ram, he was never saved by the god, instead he got killed by a man named Nathuram, a Brahmin who opposed Hindu-Muslim unity.
Thirumavalavan alleged that Hindutva groups were responsible for lynching people who ate beef or ill-treated cows and that Nagpur (RSS headquarters) would decide what hate crimes and riots to instigate. He said that it was this same Hindutva that was trying to rewrite history and rename cities and towns.
He noted that hate crimes increased when there was an election around the corner. He criticised BJP leader Annamalai for not speaking about employment issues or Adani/Hindenburg report. He said that BJP was creating issues out of non-issues and diverting people’s attention from the things that need attention.
He lamented that since there was no Kalaignar (M Karunanidhi) in Tamil Nadu, BJP wanted to make an entry into the state. He urged Stalin to fight against Hindutva politics and protect Tamil culture.
