Stalin invokes Gandhi’s ideals, says Dravidian model takes forward Mahatma’s vision

Chennai: 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, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin said here on Monday.
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.”
