Stalin asserted that such incidents are unacceptable in a democratic society. He warned that unchecked hate could pose a serious threat to India\u2019s harmony.

He said that such an increase signalled \u201cgrave danger ahead\u201d if left unaddressed.<\/p>\n<p>Stalin stressed that allowing extremist or riotous groups to operate with impunity would only deepen divisions in society. \u201cWhen a few right-wing violent groups, acting in the name of the majority, indulge in attacks and riots, it sends a disturbing message to the nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who divide people along religious or communal lines must be dealt with firmly, without ambiguity,\u201d he noted, adding that maintaining law and order and protecting constitutional values is not optional but an essential obligation of the State.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasized the shared responsibility of both those in power and society as a whole in curbing riotous and divisive groups.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to recent incidents from different parts of India, Stalin said that after Manipur, reports of attacks on minorities in places such as Jabalpur and Raipur were alarming and unacceptable to anyone who values social harmony and pluralism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese developments should concern every citizen who believes in peaceful coexistence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.
