Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi has sparked a political firestorm by claiming that secularism is a European concept and unnecessary for India. Congress MP Manickam Tagore and DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan strongly condemned the Governor's remarks, accusing him of speaking against the Constitution and aligning with the BJP-RSS agenda. Tagore reiterated that secularism is at the core of India's values, while Elangovan highlighted that India is the birthplace of multiple religions, making secularism essential.
