“All those who speak policies of Dravidian movement don’t belong to the movement”

Cautioning people against trusting fake movements, DMK President Kalaignar said all those who conduct their movements speaking the policies of the Dravidian movement did not belong to the movement.
He was speaking at a function at Kalaignar Arangam in Anna Arivalayam to mark the completion of 543 episodes of the television serial ‘Romaapri Paandian’, based on the historic plays penned by Kalaignar, on Kalaignar TV channel and for felicitating all artistes who took part in the serial.
At the outset, excusing himself for not speaking at length like the previous speakers Duraimurugan, Vairamuthu and Pazha Karupiah, due to ill health, Kalaignar said two of his plays had been made into a television serial and acclaimed by many. He was one among those who wished that such historic and social plays should be spread among people and he was happy to have played a constructive role in it.
Punning on the word ‘Pazha’ the initials of Pazha Karupiah, Kalaignar said Karupiah was our old (pazhaya) Karupiah only and wished and hoped that he stayed here hereafter.
When the DMK conducted such literary events and historic functions, Tamil people were told the policies and view of the Dravidian movement by which the DMK the Dravidian movement would grow further. But all those who conduct their movements speaking the policies of the Dravidian movement did not belong to the movement and such fake movements should not be believed as representing the movement. Since the days of Thanthai Periyar we were carrying forward this movement, he said and appealed to all for associating themselves in the task.



Approving the view expressed by lyricist Vairamuthu on literature Kalaignar said though the DMK was a political party it has realized the importance of literature and strived to grow literature. He said the view expressed by the poet could be followed by the youth of the future.
Appreciating the skill of director Dhanush, Kalaignar said the last scenes of the serial were so perfectly made that they virtually brought Rome in front of the viewers and introduced Cleopatra and other heroes and thanked the director for his contribution. He also thanked the producers Vaishnavi Media Works like Kutti Padmini and others.
It was not enough for the people of Tamil Nadu to know only the history of the State. There was a time when the influence and fame of Tamils spread up to Rome which symbolized that Tamils were spread all over the world. This serial was produce to remind the glory of Tamils.
Kalaignar distributed mementos to all artists who took part in the serial.
