DD logo change: A 'precursor' of saffronisation of everything, says Stalin
Chennai(PTI): DMK President and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Sunday slammed the change in logo of public broadcaster Doordarshan, from red to orange, saying it was a 'precursor' to the BJP's 'conspiracy' of saffronising everything.
Doordarshan has been given a "saffron stain", he said in a post on 'X,' on the change of its logo.
The CM said he had stated during the election campaign that there was a "BJP conspiracy to saffronise everything."
"These (steps like logo change) are a precursor to that. The 2024 Lok Sabha election outcome will show the public rising up against such fascism," he added.
He recalled that earlier Tamil saint poet Tiruvalluvar was "saffronised" and added that "saffron paint was poured on statues of great leaders of Tamil Nadu."
The opposition has already slammed the logo change as "grossly illegal" and as showing a "pro-BJP bias."

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
