CHIEF Minister MK Stalin on Thursday said the historic struggle for equality at Vaikom, popularly known as Vaikom Satyagraha, heralded struggles for social justice across the country and was not just a movement confined to Kerala.
In his address after inaugurating the renovated Thanthai Periyar Memorial and Periyar Library at Vaikom, established in honour of Dravidian ideologue Periyar EV Ramasamy, Stalin said that while impressive strides have been made in areas of social justice and economy in 100 years, a lot more has to be achieved. The event in which Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan took part was organised to commemorate the valedictory of the centenary of the Vaikom struggle which was led to victory by Periyar EV Ramasamy 100 years ago.
