MK Stalin urged the Congress to develop "principled friendship" with parties at the all-India level like the one it has with his party in Tamil Nadu.
Calling for a united front of the Congress, Left and all state parties opposed to the BJP to take on the ruling dispensation at the Centre, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK supremo M K Stalin on Friday said everyone must put aside their individual political mindsets and "come together to save India".
He also urged the Congress to develop "principled friendship" with parties at the all-India level like the one it has with his party in Tamil Nadu.
In an exclusive interview with PTI during his three-day visit to Delhi, Mr Stalin said, "My plea is that if we want to preserve India's diversity, federalism, democracy, secularism, equality, fraternity, state rights, education rights, we must all leave aside our individual political mindsets and unite." "All parties must realise that unity is strength. Everyone must come together to save India," he said.
The 69-year-old leader, who took charge as Tamil Nadu's chief minister in May last year after a massive victory against the AIDMK-led alliance that included the BJP, further said the DMK has always been very important in national politics and it will remain so always.
