"'Tamil Nadu' is not just a word; it contains the life history of the Tamil people," said Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi.
The book release ceremony for a volume containing a collection of speeches delivered by MDMK general secretary Vaiko in both Houses of Parliament was held on Tuesday at the Constitution Club in Delhi. Lok Sabha Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi attended and released the book, and its first copy was received by former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav.
After that, Rahul Gandhi said at the event: Even at 82, Vaiko still considers himself like a student. The reason is that, in both his life and politics, he continues to live as a student and ask fundamental questions.
"Bharat" is a union of states. Bharat is the expression of the feelings of the people of the states. Likewise, when we say "Tamil Nadu," it is not just a word.
He said that within those words lies the history of the Tamil people’s lives and the Tamil people’s love for their language.
