'ஆணும் பெண்ணும் சரிநிகர் சமம்' என்பதை நிரூபிக்கும் வகையில் சபரிமலையில் அனைத்து வயது பெண்களையும் அனுமதிக்கலாம் என்ற உச்சநீதிமன்ற தீர்ப்பு...

DMK president M.K. Stalin welcomed the landmark judgment of the Supreme Court permitting women of all age groups to worship at the Sabarimala shrine. He stated that the historic verdict affirmed the fundamental principle that men and women are equal under the Constitution, establishing a vital precedent for equal access, individual liberty, and human dignity across all public spaces and sacred sites in India.

Stalin described the ruling as a significant step forward in the historic struggle for social justice, gender parity, and women's liberation. He observed that progressive legal interpretations dismantling gender-based restrictions align with the rationalist ideals championed by the Dravidian movement throughout decades of social reform in South India under Periyar's ideological guidance, self-respect philosophy, and dedicated social activism across Tamil society.

Stalin emphasized that true social advancement requires extending constitutional guarantees of equality into every sphere of public life without discrimination, religious dogmatism, or regressive social barriers. He urged all progressive sections to embrace the judicial decision in a spirit of social unity, recognizing it as an enduring triumph for constitutional democracy, rationalism, gender justice, and women's rights.
