Political Dynamics in Tamil Nadu Government
Tamil Nadu is now being run by a chief minister that comes from a
community that is only six percentage of Tamil Nadu's population.
The finance minister of Tamil Nadu is Christian, and the report also says
that almost seven Christian ministers are sitting in the position, in
the key position of power. Is this justice or is this the quiet
takeover of the system? The finance minister, Mari Wilson,
walks inside the
assembly holding a rosary. He made the sign of cross before
presenting
the Tamil Nadu's budget. In the same budget,
he increased the Haj subsidy
from 25,000 to 35,000. The same finance minister stood
up in the assembly and said, "My Christianity have taught me the
language of
love, passion, and compassion, things that half of the people over here
wouldn't even understand, no matter how much Tamil they have
studied.
I have read this in the Bible and I'm born Christian." The speaker
allowed
this remark without any interruption.
The same speaker, JCD Prabhakar, claimed that the TVK
government have come into power only because it followed
Bible's teaching. And when the opposition MLA, Sowmya Anbumani,
quoted Bhagavad Gita in the assembly, the speaker immediately stopped her saying
that, "Nobody interrupted you all these 20
minutes.
Your time is already over and you should stop speaking." One
religion is freely praised from the floor of the assembly, and the other is
cut short the moment it is quoted. There is also report of cross kept
on the chief minister's office desk.
So I ask this government directly, why is a community with
just six percentage given so much of powerful ministers?
Why is abolished Sanatana Dharma allowed to be spoken without
strong condemnation? Is this secularism or is it minority
dominance dressed up as social justice? Let me be very loud and clear.
Tamil Nadu is not a Christian state.
Tamil Nadu belongs to Lord Murugan.
Tamil Nadu belongs to Goddess Meenakshi Amman.
Tamil Nadu belongs to Rameswaram and to the thousands of
ancient temples. The majority of the state follows Hindu
religion,
that is Sanatana Dharma. Some will immediately ask, "So minority
should never raise?" No, this is not against any minority.
Not just Tamil Nadu, but the whole of India is a land,
is a Hindu
majority land. And for over 800 years, this Hindu majority
have faced invasions, temple destructions, forced conversions,
and continuous oppressions. Hence, we have lost
enough. Let us breathe the air of freedom.
And equality means same rule for everyone.
It does not mean one religion gets excess power in the name of minority
rights. With that, I conclude.
