Nedumaran Endorses PTR and Family for Public Service in Madurai

Veteran politician Pazha Nedumaran campaigned for the Secular Progressive Alliance in Madurai, urging voters to support DMK candidate Palanivel Thiaga Rajan (PTR) in the Madurai Central constituency. Speaking at a poll rally, Nedumaran warned against fascist groups allegedly attempting to enter the state through AIADMK support, emphasizing the need to protect Tamil Nadu's values of social justice and unity. He praised the PTR family for their longstanding, voluntary service to the public, regardless of their political power status, and highlighted the contributions of PTR's late father, Palanivelrajan, particularly his tenure as Speaker of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. In response, PTR expressed gratitude and reflected on the decency of past political eras. He recalled a historical anecdote where Nedumaran’s father sponsored his own father’s election certificate, despite Nedumaran himself being an opponent at the time. PTR criticized current political trends involving personal attacks and false claims, calling for a return to mutual respect among public figures. The event underscores the collaborative spirit within the alliance and highlights local political dynamics in Madurai during the election period.
