Chennai: Neither DMK nor Dravidian model of government is against spiritualism, said Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Wednesday.
While addressing at Mupperum Vizha of Vallalar at Kapaleeswarar temple in Chennai, Stalin said, the only problem with spirituality is those (the people) who are trying to make a living out of the religious beliefs for political gains.
People brand DMK as anti-spiritual party and as a party against the faith of the people. However, it is those people who critique Dravidian model and make money with it.
Stalin said, even though a section of social media can edit this video and create an image that he spoke against spiritualism. He said, DMK is not against spiritualism.
He also highlighted about starting an international center in Vadalur. He also informed me that they have formed a committee to draft a Rs 100 crore project for the centre.
