Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) coordinator Seeman on Wednesday described caste-based discrimination as a “disease of the mind” created by humans that must be eradicated. He said this at the Coimbatore airport in response to a query on the recent video from Tindivanam showing a municipal staff member belonging to the Scheduled Caste community falling at the feet of a DMK councillor.
He said that even if a person attains the highest level of achievement or position, caste-based discrimination continues to persist, and added that society itself must remove it. “Even President Droupadi Murmu is still facing it, in her own party,” he alleged.
