DMK president M.K. Stalin expressed warm gratitude and appreciation to Justice G.R. Swaminathan of the Madras High Court Madurai Bench for introducing daily Thirukkural recitations in court proceedings. Under the judicial initiative, advocates appearing before the bench are encouraged to recite a couplet from Thiruvalluvar's ancient ethical treatise before commencing courtroom arguments. Stalin commended this cultural measure, expressing his strong desire to see such meaningful traditions replicated across legal and educational institutions throughout Tamil Nadu.

Stalin noted that Thirukkural provides timeless ethical principles governing justice, statecraft, civic duty, and personal morality, transcending religious boundaries and political eras. Integrating ancient Tamil ethical wisdom into contemporary judicial practice serves as an inspiring reminder that legal proceedings must remain anchored in universal righteousness and humanitarian empathy. He praised the judiciary for honoring Tamil literary heritage within modern courtrooms.

Stalin emphasized that the Dravidian movement has historically elevated Thirukkural through monumental projects, including the Valluvar Kottam memorial in Chennai and the 133-foot stone statue in Kanyakumari. He welcomed every conscientious effort that reinforces classical Tamil literature and inculcates ethical consciousness among legal practitioners and the wider public.
