DMK president M.K. Stalin issued a statement on Constitution Day, emphasizing that the Constitution of India enshrines fundamental rights of equality, liberty, and justice for every citizen irrespective of caste, religion, or gender. Stalin called upon the public and democratic institutions to rededicate themselves to protecting constitutional values against contemporary authoritarian and divisive pressures.

Stalin highlighted that the founding document crafted under Dr. B.R. Ambedkar established an egalitarian framework designed to dismantle historic social hierarchies and safeguard minority communities. He noted that the progressive principles of social justice, secularism, federalism, and fundamental rights represent the bedrock of Indian democracy. In an environment where state autonomy is frequently undermined and sectarian divisions are encouraged, vigilant defense of constitutional mandates becomes an imperative civic duty.

Stalin affirmed that the Dravidian movement has historically derived its political legitimacy from the constitutional promise of equitable representation and affirmative action for marginalized communities. He urged citizens to resist any attempts to dilute statutory rights, centralized encroachment on state jurisdiction, and discriminatory practices. Stalin concluded that collective dedication to constitutional morality remains essential to ensure an inclusive, peaceful, and progressive republic.
