DMK Objects to Cross on Vijay's Desk
The DMK, a political party in Tamil Nadu, is upset because they saw a religious cross on the desk of Vijay, who is the Chief Minister.
The DMK believes that religious symbols should not be in government offices because it goes against the idea of separating religion and state affairs.
This is a big deal because both the DMK and Vijay's party, the TVK, have always said they support secular governance, which means they believe religion should not influence government decisions.
The DMK is asking Vijay to remove the cross to show that he truly supports secularism.
