Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin will arrive in Delhi today for a two-day visit, news agency ANI reported. During his visit, he will call on President Droupadi Murmu, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 17.
The ideal of secularism and brotherhood championed by Mahatma Gandhi is the urgent need for the nation today and the DMK regime's Dravidian model embodied all such lofty principles for the common good of all sections of people, Stalin had said on Independence Day.
Mahatma Gandhi epitomised all lofty humanitarian principles like secularism, equality, brotherhood, simplicity, honesty and discipline and he is among the great national symbols that should be reminded often to the people, he said in his Independence Day address after unfurling the tricolour from Fort St George.
"These are the urgent and necessary ideals for the nation today. We are administering the Dravidian model government which encompasses all such humanitarian ideals."
Social justice, equality, self respect, racial rights, state autonomy, love for language are the founding humanitarian principles on which the DMK regime functioned, Stalin said, adding development should be based on such principles and it should also lead to societal growth.
The Dravidian model is all about seamless economical, educational, and societal growth, which also brings under its fold the growth of (progressive) thought and work processes, the chief minister further said.
"I am desirous of fulfilling the aspirations of every single individual of Tamil Nadu. I am involving myself everyday in that initiative."
Only unity would protect the country and to emerge victorious from the attack of external forces, unity within the nation, among the people is very essential and ensuring that alone could be a true tribute to freedom fighters, he said.
Toeing the federal pitch and unity in diversity line, Stalin said 'let us make prosperous India, a union of states', through states that are self-sufficient in all sectors.
