Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said the ‘Dravidian model’ government that allowed everyone eligible to become archakas in temples, was true social justice.
Mr. Stalin was speaking in Chennai on Friday, while participating at a mass wedding function held for 34 couples, on behalf of temples in the State, organised by the Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department.
The CM said the Rajasthan Government had appointed a total of 17 archakas, including eight women, at temples, inspired by Tamil Nadu. He said the Madras High Court’s decision allowing archakas to be from any caste goes to show how social justice is being brought in by this government.
