Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) president K. Selvaperunthagai and Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder S. Ramadoss are demanding stringent action against individuals responsible for a controversial ‘spiritual’ event held at a government school in Ashok Nagar, Chennai. The leaders expressed their concerns on September 6, 2024, after it was reported that the guest speaker at the event promoted “unscientific thoughts about past life.”
Selvaperunthagai called for an immediate investigation into the matter, emphasizing the need for accountability among those who allowed such teachings within an educational institution. He insisted that the School Education Department must take measures to prevent similar occurrences across Tamil Nadu in the future.
In a parallel response, Ramadoss insisted that those behind the event, regardless of their status, should face consequences, and he called for the arrest of the speaker who allegedly delivered the controversial remarks.
This incident has sparked significant debate regarding the appropriateness of spiritual events in educational settings and the impact of unscientific teachings on students.
Stay tuned as developments unfold in this pressing issue for Tamil Nadu’s educational landscape.
