DMK attempting to conceal its fear of defeat: L. Murugan
Union Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting L. Murugan on Saturday (June 21, 2025) said the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), gripped by fear of defeat, has launched several unsuccessful campaigns — including opposition to delimitation and NEET — in a bid to conceal its growing anxiety. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the International Yoga Day celebrations at the National Institute of Siddha in Tambaram, Mr. Murugan said, 'The DMK lacks public support, as people have clearly made up their minds after witnessing the country's development over the past 10 years.' International Yoga Day LIVE updates: Andhra Pradesh bags Guinness record for IDY 2025 Responding to a question on Union Home Minister Amit Shah's recent remark that those who speak English in India would 'soon feel ashamed,' Mr. Murugan said, 'Amit Shah ji made that statement in the context of shedding the colonial mindset. Since the BJP came to power at the Centre in 2014, our government has taken various steps to promote Indian tradition, culture, and languages. The National Education Policy also emphasises learning Indian languages in addition to one's mother tongue.' Further, the Minister said that lakhs of Lord Muruga devotees from around the world are expected to participate in the Muruga Bhaktargalin Aanmeega Maanadu, to be held in Madurai on June 22.
