CHENNAI: The Dravidar Kazhagam (DK) has supported the LGBTQ communities by stating that they are entitled to all civil rights just like others. The Dravidar Kazhagam, a rationalist movement, released its manifesto at a State conference that was conducted at Thanjavur in February, last week. A special meeting was held to elaborate on the same, at Periyar Thidal, the Dravidar
Kazhagam’s headquarters, on Tuesday. During the meeting, DK president K Veeramani said, “We have released the Dravidian manifesto akin to the Communist Manifesto which was released in the 18th century. We should go through it and ponder over it. If you find any mistakes in our manifesto statement, let us know, we are ready to correct the same. Moreover, if it is correct, you should practise it and spread it.”
Furthermore, Veeramani elaborated on the important policies of the Dravidian manifesto. The Dravidar Kazhagam manifesto follows the Dravidian policy that believes in a lot of issues like gender equality, social justice, shedding superstitions, and that LGBTQ communities are also entitled to all civil rights like others.
