Leaders condemn the desecration of Thiruvalluvar statue
Political parties in Tamil Nadu on Monday condemned the desecration of saint-poet Thiruvalluvar”s statue at Pillayarpatti near Thanjavur and demanded stern action against the miscreants.
DMK President M.K. Stalin said that there could be a connection between the act and the Tamil Nadu BJP unit’s attempt to saffronize Thiruvalluvar by portraying him in a saffron attire.
Condemning the desecration, PMK founder S. Ramadoss said that severe action should be taken against the miscreants and those who are behind them.
