Shri Tarun Vijay, BJP MP

Shri Tarun Vijay, who spoke on the
occasion, won the hearts of Mullikuppam area people with his passion towards
Thirukkural and Thiruvalluvar.   He delved around the great saints
and rishis who lived in our country and compared them with valluvar.  He
said this function of spending an early morning of Makara Sankranti with
fishermen folk and swayamsevaks and beginning the day by addressing an inspired
Hindu gathering was an unforgettable one.  His quote on Swami vivekananda
sayings of respecting Dalits for having staying in Hinduism despite
discrimination touched many. 
“Standing
on the shores of Ganga Saagar looking at the Himalayas, I mean the sounds of
‘Namaskaram’ from Ganga Sagar listening to Vanakam from North India, this is
the real Sankranti call for all of us.  This shows India is one,
eventhough we speak different languages, different legacies, culture,
literature, men and women.  Tamilnadu has shown great legacy and heritage
to the world.  Nobody could have believed when others were tired with
fighting with each other, there were crusades, jihads, hatred, intolerance—you
were the people who gave Tirukkural before 2000 years before. The first
dam was built here.  We were the first to have the Thiruvalluvar,
Nayanmaars, Alwars, Subramania bharati, Rajendra Chola, Ramunaja, Andal in our
prartha smarami.  This is our legacy. 
Our
India is Samagra India with the full of love, compassion, believer in the Unity
in diversity. If it all democratic, it is only Hindu majority which believes
whichever path and faith followed will attain God.  This is the message of
Sankranti.”   

Prant Pracharak Shri Bakthan Ji gave a brief on Shri Tarun Vijay’s tour in Tamilnadu with
the concept of ‘Nationalism and Tamilnadu’.
