DMK president M K Stalin Friday sought a vow from those present at an event here to dislodge the "communal" BJP regime at the Centre and the AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu that is "subservient" to the Union government.
Addressing an event to celebrate Christmas, ahead of the festival and honour pastors, he recalled the initiatives taken for the welfare of minorities during the previous DMK regimes by late party patriarch and his father, M Karunanidhi.
"Kalaignar (Karunanidhi) worked for the welfare of the minorities," while on the other hand, the BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was against the interests of minorities, he said.
"The Modi led government is communal," he alleged.
The AIADMK government is "subservient" to the Centre, the DMK leader alleged and appealed to those present to take "a vow in this event that celebrates Christmas, to dislodge the governments at the Centre and the State."
