Stalin Urges PM Modi to Uphold Dignity, Stop Targeting Tamils
The leader of Tamil Nadu, Stalin, is telling India's Prime Minister, Modi, to be more respectful of his job.
Stalin says Modi made remarks that upset him because they suggest people from Bihar are being treated badly in Tamil Nadu, and Stalin believes Modi said this to get votes in Bihar.
Stalin feels Modi is dividing people by creating anger between different groups of Indians, like Tamils and people from Bihar, and also between Hindus and Muslims.
Stalin wants Modi to stop this kind of talk and focus on helping the whole country.
Another politician from the Congress party agrees with Stalin and says Modi's party often tries to create division.
This is similar to a situation last year involving fake videos about workers from Bihar.
Tamil Nadu CM M.K. Stalin accused PM Modi of making divisive remarks for electoral gains and fostering enmity between Tamils and Biharis.
Stalin urged PM Modi to uphold the dignity of his office and focus on national interests, rather than engaging in "cheap politics" of sowing discord.
The accusations were a response to PM Modi's remarks suggesting that the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu harasses people from Bihar.
Stalin accused the BJP of targeting Tamils and creating divisions among communities, including Hindus and Muslims, for political advantage.
Congress MP Manickam Tagore supported Stalin, criticizing PM Modi for promoting hate politics and fomenting division, recalling similar incidents from 2023.
