Dravidam, Tamil nationalism can never be same
The New Indian Express|November 03, 2024
IN a veiled attack on actor-turned-politician Vijay, Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) founder Seeman said Dravidam and Tamil Nationalism cannot be 'the two eyes' of a party, as Dravidam is like poison and Tamil nationalism its antidote.

At a time when political commentators in the state are discussing the possibility of Vijay's Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) eating into NTK's vote bank following the former's first state conference in Vikravandi, Seeman said Vijay has much to clarify when it comes to his ideology.

Replying to questions on Vijay's views on Dravidam and Tamil nationalism during a news conference, Seeman said Dravidam is about ruling the people while Tamil nationalism is about helping Tamils to reach top positions.
