Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin celebrated his 73rd birthday on Sunday by recommitting to the defense of Tamil culture and Dravidian principles, sounding an alarm against external machinations.
The DMK leader’s social media message reframed his birthday as a pledge of service. ‘Protecting Tamil and Tamil Nadu is my mission,’ he stated, imploring citizens to band together with mental acuity and shared determination to overcome ‘conspiracies.’
Promising deeper personal involvement, Stalin reminisced about his career built on tireless effort. He lauded the Dravidian model’s role in elevating Tamil Nadu to frontrunner status, where compassionate policies and infrastructure leaps have touched countless lives.
‘Today, our state inspires others, letting Tamils live proudly,’ he noted. Stalin stressed unyielding adherence to core beliefs, rejecting any compromise or submission.
Directing party faithful to channel a ‘warrior’s ethos,’ he remembered trailblazers Thanthai Periyar, Perarignar Anna, and Muthamizh Arignar Karunanidhi, advocating unity to uphold their legacy.
Spotlighting empowerment efforts, the CM revealed that about 200 trainees from disadvantaged and SC communities, featuring female participants, are pursuing priesthood via government schemes—a testament to Tamil Nadu’s transformative social agenda.
