The New Indian Express
|October 31, 2025
THE demand to confer the Bharat Ratna on late freedom fighter Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar gained renewed momentum on Thursday - his 118th birth anniversary and 63rd Guru Poojai - with leaders across the political spectrum voicing support for the move.
 
 Responding to AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami's letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah recommending the honour for Thevar, Chief Minister M K Stalin said, "The TN government will back the recommendation." MDMK general secretary Vaiko also endorsed the demand, while AMMK leader TTV Dhinakaran said conferring the Bharat Ratna on Thevar was part of his party's manifesto.
Vice President of India C P Radhakrishnan and CM Stalin both paid floral tributes at Thevar's memorial at Pasumpon village, marking the occasion.
During the fete, the CM announced that a new marriage hall will be constructed in the village at a cost of ₹3 crore.
