Vaiyapuri Gopalsamy aka Vaiko, MK Stalin (Vaiko’s MDMK exits DMK-led alliance after nine years, cites erosion of ideological principles) NEW DELHI: Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) on Saturday announced its withdrawal from the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA), ending a nine-year association, and said it would decide on its future electoral alliances “at the appropriate time”. The decision was taken through a resolution passed at the party’s General Council meeting, ANI reported.The resolution said the MDMK had remained part of the DMK-led alliance since a High-Level Committee resolution adopted on December 3, 2017. It added that the party had joined and continued in the alliance out of ideological commitment to prevent “communal political forces” from gaining ground in Tamil Nadu and to uphold the principles of the Dravidian movement.Explaining its decision, the MDMK alleged that attempts were made during the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections to weaken its independent political identity despite its 32-year political journey. It said the party nevertheless chose to remain in the alliance and contest the elections.The resolution also referred to political developments after the Assembly election results, claiming they were contrary to the people’s mandate.”It is an open secret that arrangements were made to install the AIADMK, which had won only 47 Assembly seats, in power by forging an alliance with Hindutva communal forces. As a result, the claims that the Secular Progressive Alliance was an alliance founded on ideology and principles were rendered meaningless,” the resolution stated.The party said its office-bearers and cadres were of the view that the MDMK should no longer remain in the DMK-led alliance.”Therefore, this General Council resolves that the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) shall withdraw from the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance,” the resolution said.It further resolved that the party would take an appropriate decision on future electoral alliances at the time of elections.According to ANI, the MDMK also referred to remarks made by party general secretary Vaiko before the election results, stating that he had predicted a significant verdict from the people of Tamil Nadu.The decision comes a day after senior MDMK leaders signalled growing dissatisfaction with the party’s treatment within the alliance. PTI reported that the party’s High-Level Committee, which met on Friday, was driven by “pain” and “deep anguish” over its experience in the DMK-led alliance and had indicated that it was preparing to sever ties.Addressing a meeting in Virudhunagar on Friday, Vaiko said that despite supporting the DMK leadership and the Dravidian movement over the past nine years, his party had been treated “unfairly.””We had to compromise on our self-respect and dignity to remain in the alliance for nine years,” he said.Making an apparent reference to the DMDK, Vaiko also expressed disappointment that his party was made to contest the Assembly elections on the DMK’s “Rising Sun” symbol, while other alliance partners were allowed to use their own party symbols. PTI reported that he also felt smaller allies had received greater importance within the alliance.The MDMK contested four seats in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections under the DMK’s symbol and won two constituencies.The party’s exit adds to the challenges facing the DMK after the Assembly elections. According to ANI, several former SPA constituents, including the Congress, Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), the CPI, CPI(M) and the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), have already withdrawn from the alliance and extended support to the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), enabling it to secure a majority and form the government.In the 2026 Assembly elections, the results of which were declared on May 4, the TVK emerged as the single largest party by winning 108 of the 234 seats. The DMK won 59 seats, followed by the AIADMK with 47. The Congress secured five seats, the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) four, the CPI and CPI(M) two each, the IUML and VCK two each, while the DMDK, AMMK and BJP won one seat each. The election marked the end of nearly six decades of dominance by Tamil Nadu’s two principal Dravidian parties.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Congress leader, Vijay Wadettiwar, questions NCERT for removing ‘secular’ and ‘secularism’ NEW DELHI: Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar has accused the government of trying to “poison the minds of school-going children” after NCERT’s revised Class 9 Social Science textbook removed references to “secular” and “secularism” from the main text under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 curriculum overhaul.”A wave of extreme religious fanaticism has gripped the nation. Removing the word ‘secular’ from NCERT textbooks clearly reveals an intention to poison the minds of school-going children. If we remove the concept of secularism, then what ideology will this country run on?” Wadettiwar said.He added: “This is nothing but a strategy to rule in the name of religion, keep the nation far away from reality, and hide the truth. They bring up such divisive issues simply to mask the real problems plaguing the country.”What has changed in the new textbookThe revised Social Science textbook, which integrates History, Geography, Political Science and Economics into a single volume, marks a significant departure from previous editions. Among the most notable changes is the omission of the Preamble from the introductory chapter on the Constitution. References to “secular” and “secularism,” which featured in earlier editions, have also been removed from the primary text.NCERT has instead introduced a broader discussion on constitutional values, institutions and governance while restructuring the subject in line with the NEP 2020’s integrated learning approach.The updated curriculum also introduces a chapter on the 1975–77 Emergency for the first time in a Class 9 textbook, expands lessons on India’s electoral system and democratic institutions, and warns against counterfeit textbooks.The revised book, titled Understanding Society: India and Beyond, includes a dedicated section on the Emergency, describing it as a major challenge to Indian democracy.Get the latest India news and live updates.
