Dravidar Kazhagam president K. Veeramani on Tuesday requested Chief Minister M.K. Stalin to do away with religious ceremonies and Sanskrit rituals performed by priests in government functions.
In a statement in Chennai, he appreciated Dharmapuri Lok Sabha MP S. Senthilkumar of the DMK for questioning officials for inviting only Hindu priest for the bhoomi puja at an official project launch in his constituency recently.
“What he expressed was not his personal feelings, but espoused by DMK founder Annadurai and late Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi,” he said.
