Tamil Pride: Controversy Surrounding Keezhadi Excavation Findings

Chief Minister M K Stalin criticizes the BJP government's alleged attempt to ignore the significance of Keezhadi excavation findings, highlighting Tamil cultural pride. He accuses them of promoting unsupported civilizations while delaying the publication of substantial reports on Keezhadi. Protests continue by DMK against this perceived cultural disregard.

Chief Minister M K Stalin has accused the BJP government of attempting to bury the findings from the Keezhadi excavation site in Tamil Nadu. He claims that delays in publishing the final report highlight the administration's dissatisfaction with Tamil cultural pride.

Despite scientific backing, Stalin asserts that the central government is trying to obscure Tamil history by promoting less credible narratives. The Chief Minister condemned the removal of key personnel overseeing the archaeological work, such as Amarnath Ramakrishna, a move he interprets as cultural sabotage.

As protests led by the DMK and its allies gain momentum, the confrontation over Tamil antiquity and pride is scheduled to echo in the nation's capital. Critics blame the silence of opposition party AIADMK and accuse its leaders of political compromise.
