CM: No Aryan worth celebrating, so they attempt to steal Thiruvalluvar
Chennai: There have been attempts to paint Tamil poet-saint Thiruvalluvar in saffron and steal him, since there was none worth celebrating in Aryan culture, chief minister
M K Stalin
said on Sunday.
However, Thiruvalluvar cannot be stolen, he said. "Thiruvalluvar is a rationalist, stood for self respect and advocated social justice. If someone attempts to snatch away Thiruvalluvar, they would not be able to bear the intensity of the poet's verses," the chief minister Stalin said after releasing a book on Thirukkural by lyricist
Vairamuthu
. The first copy of 'Valluvar Marai, Vairamuthu Urai,' was received by former Union finance minister P Chidambaram.
In a veiled attack on right wing organisations, Stalin said that rather than stealing, there were attempts to deceive people by painting Thiruvalluvar in saffron. "Tamil society must oppose the attempts to paint ideological colours on Thiruvalluvar." "Manu Neethi cannot enter a place where there was justice based on Thirukkural. When Aryan civilization tried to destroy Dravidian tradition, Thirukkural protected it," he said.

Praising Vairamuthu for his book, Stalin said steps should be taken to make Thirukkural as the national book of India.
Vairamuthu said 850 people have written interpretative commentaries for Thirukkural. "I am 851st person. The fact that there is still a lot left to interpret Thirukkural shows the height of Thiruvalluvar's work," he said. Earlier, Vairamuthu went to the memorial of Karunanidhi and placed the book there.
