Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said on Saturday that political motives were behind religious clashes, which must be stopped.
He made the remarks on the final day of the three-day conference of Collectors, police and forest department officials.
Mr. Stalin also endorsed the view of police officials that social media posts were the primary reason for caste clashes and religious divide. Those elements must be nipped in the bud and action must be taken immediately against those posting such messages, he said.
