TVK Chief Emphasizes Hope and Direction Through Rising New Light

Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) President Vijay delivered a keynote address at the party's 'Samathuva Christmas' celebrations, organized at a private hotel near Mahabalipuram on Monday. He articulated that genuine faith promotes societal harmony and encourages respect for differing religious convictions across communities. Vijay reiterated the TVK's firm dedication to upholding social and religious unity, declaring that no compromises would be made on these foundational principles.

In his speech, Vijay referenced the biblical narrative of Joseph, who endured betrayal by his siblings yet ascended to a position of authority as ruler of the land, subtly alluding to contemporary parallels that resonated with the gathered audience. He described love and kindness as the bedrock of human existence, characterizing Tamil Nadu as a nurturing territory infused with maternal compassion, where equality among all individuals prevails without distinction.

Vijay emphasized the distinctive cultural fabric of the state, noting how residents collectively observe diverse festivals including Pongal, Deepavali, Ramzan, and Christmas, thereby fostering shared joy and inclusivity irrespective of individual traditions. He underscored that variations in lifestyles and modes of worship do not diminish the overarching sense of brotherhood that binds the populace together in mutual understanding.

Toward the conclusion of his remarks, Vijay proclaimed that a new light would soon emerge, destined to illuminate and direct the path ahead for the people. The gathering also included contributions from prominent guests, amplifying messages of coexistence and collective progress within the state's multicultural framework.

D Rameshkumar, serving as president of the Indian Christian Ministers Council, voiced concerns over the Christian community's unmet demands despite extended advocacy under successive Dravidian administrations, expressing disillusionment while anticipating resolution under Vijay's leadership following the 2026 elections. Nawabzada Mohammed Asif Ali, Dewan to the Prince of Arcot, commended Tamil Nadu as a premier exemplar of national unity, where individuals of all faiths receive equal respect, with identity rooted firmly in shared humanity rather than religious affiliation.
