Leaders of the DMK, an ally of the INDIA bloc, declared that the protests would take place across the state.

Earlier, Chief Minister and DMK President M.K. Stalin criticised the BJP—without directly naming Amit Shah—stating that those who genuinely care about the country and its people would acknowledge Dr Ambedkar's contributions.

Stalin also questioned the silence of Opposition leader and AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) on the issue.
