‘Separatism today means dividing people in the name of caste, religion’
Eminent Constituional expert and columnist A.G. Noorani and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi founder Thol. Thirumavalavan received the Quaid-E-Milleth Award for Probity in Public and Political Life here at Quaid-e-Milleth College for Men here on Saturday.
Speaking after receiving the award, Mr. Thirumavalavan said that he was proud to be receiving the same award with someone as eminent as Mr. Noorani.
He attacked the Sangh Parivar and Hindu right wing parties for continuously preventing consolidating of Scheduled Castes across India.
He said: “Many years ago, when people spoke about separatism, it used to be about dividing the country. However, today, separatism means dividing people in the name of caste and religion. In any State, if there are caste-based organisations, the RSS is encouraging them. They want to put disunity among Scheduled Castes.”
