Tamil Nadu has long remained a “haven of peace” where people of all religions live in harmony, and the BJP-AIADMK alliance should not be allowed to win even a single seat and disturb this social fabric, P. Shanmugam, CPI(M) State Secretary, said on Friday. Campaigning at Kilvelur in support of CPI(M) candidate Latha, contesting as part of the DMK-led alliance, he alleged that the BJP had been promoting divisive politics at the national level. Despite the Constitution guaranteeing equal rights, he said attempts were being made to spread religious hatred and interfere in personal freedoms, including food choices, in some northern States.
