PMK youth wing leader Anbumani Ramadoss on Thursday said that time had come to “rescue Tamil Nadu from Dravidian parties” as, according to him, they had destroyed the State over the past 50 years.
Participating in his party’s annual youth conference, he also administered a 10-point pledge to the cadre, hoping to propel the PMK to success in the forthcoming Lok Sabha and next Assembly elections.
Dr. Anbumani read out the 10-point pledge, which focussed on a number of areas such as a pledge to protect environment, pursue social justice and promote respect and harmony for various castes, linguistic, religious communities and cultures existing in society, complete ban on liquor and the need to reinvigorate agriculture in the State.
He laid emphasis on the need to “protect women” in society and went as far as urging the youth cadre to intervene whenever they found that women were in distress.
“If that gets you into trouble, I will come in your support,” said Dr. Anbumani.
According to him, there is a creeping threat to the 69% reservation in Tamil Nadu.
“The Supreme Court is set to hear the case against 69% reservation, which is protected by the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution. The bedrock of PMK’s politics is social justice,” he said.
“If there is some problem to 69% reservation, then Tamil Nadu will face serious protests and thegovernment will not last one day after that,” he added.
