Let’s Celebrate Unified India, Not Uniform India: Tamil Nadu CM Stalin

Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday emphasized that Republic Day should be celebrated as a united India and not as a uniform India, and said it should remain a country where cultures enrich each other and languages coexist with pride.
Veiledly criticizing the BJP government at the Centre, Stalin said, “Let’s celebrate a united India. Not a uniform India.”
In his message, the prime minister said India has “many voices” and many identities shape the country.
“India moves forward when every citizen can live with dignity, security and freedom,” he said in a post on social media platform ‘X’.
“We must remain a country where cultures enrich each other, where languages coexist with pride, where faith is a personal truth. Our strength has never been sameness. It has always been our multiplicity. When diversity is preserved, belonging comes naturally. And the future remains open to all equally. Happy Republic Day to the plural and proud India.”
The CM also said, “Let’s win together (Velvom Ondraga). We will not leave anyone behind in the march of Tamil Nadu’s prosperity.”
