April 9, 2010: A ridiculous demand to change the emblem of tamilnadu has been raised by the VCK (Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi) party in the budget session of the state.
It says that the emblem of Tamil Nadu with a temple tower (as above) is not in line with secular traditions of the State and needs to be changed, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi general secretary D. Ravikumar demanded in the Assembly on Thursday. He said "a secular symbol, such as Tiruvalluvar, would more appropriately reflect the culture and inclusive nature of the State. The emblem should also have the catch line ' Pirapokkum ella uyirkum' (meaning all lives are equal at birth)."
Such demands to change our traditional symbols and emblems are minority appeasing and vote mongering - if such demands are not nipped in the bud - the atheist and anti-hindu government of tamilnadu might very well accept the demand.

RSS should work with the people of SriVilliputtur who are annoyed at this development. RSS should help them in organizing protests and strikes till the TN govt clarifies that it will not change the emblem.
