Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has firmly dismissed claims that religion is under threat in the state, instead asserting that the political alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) faces the real challenge. His comments come in the wake of a controversial event organized by the right-wing Hindu Munnani group, supported by the BJP, which drew criticism for targeting iconic Dravidian leaders. Stalin accused the BJP-led coalition of divisive politics based on religion and caste, contrasting it with his government’s commitment to secularism and inclusive development.
