At the same time, the present Chief Minister should also consider another important issue.
Former Chief Minister M.K. Stalin declared September 17 (Periyar’s birthday) as Social Justice Day and April 14 (Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s birthday) as Equality Day, introducing official pledges and commemorative observances. This was a historic step.
The pledge he introduced emphasized equality and the principle of “everything for everyone.” These observances should continue and be strengthened throughout the state.
Similarly, the order introduced during Karunanidhi’s government to celebrate Kamaraj’s birthday as Education Development Day in schools should also be properly implemented through an official announcement by the present Chief Minister.
Such measures would help create a people-oriented administration that rises above party politics.
