Vijay’s TVK slams DMK over law and order in TN, opposes Center over ‘One Nation, One Poll’, Waqf law

The TVK resolutions further stated that neither the Union government nor its representative (the Governor) has the right to interfere in matters relating to the Tamil language.

They initially imposed saffron on Tiruvalluvar and then sparked controversy over Tamil-Thai greetings, the party said. Language rights are the most important rights of the state, the party asserted, adding that it would strongly oppose the three-language policy.

Moreover, TVK demanded that the Union and state governments should drop the proposed Parandur greenfield airport, which would require the purchase of several hectares of agricultural land and could increase the flood risk in Chennai.

The resolution also called for permanent employment for those who gave land for Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC) projects and urged conversion of contract jobs into permanent ones.

TVK also opposed the “one nation, one election” initiative and described it as an anti-democratic move by the BJP-led Union government, which threatens democratic principles. The party also called on the Union government to withdraw the controversial Waqf (Amendment) Act.

The party urged the DMK government to expedite a caste-based inquiry without shifting the blame on the Union government. It also pushed for education and healthcare to be brought under state control, allowing Tamil Nadu to exempt medical admissions from the NEET exams.

Moreover, TVK reiterated its opposition to the Union government’s “three-language policy” and insisted that the state be consulted on Sri Lanka’s foreign policy and demanded that a Tamilian be appointed as India’s ambassador to Sri Lanka.
