CHENNAI: DMK president M K Stalin on Monday demanded action against people involved in setting question paper for the TNPSC Group 2 exam in which the caste name of Dravida Kazhagam founder Periyar E V Ramasamy was mentioned.
In a statement, Stalin said, "I was shocked to know that the question paper had Periyar's caste name. I have doubt whether the person who prepared the question paper and who checked it before it was released know either English or anything about Tamil Nadu," asked Stalin.
Periyar used to be called EVR which means Erode Venkatappa Ramasamy and even the word E was not mentioned correctly, he said.
"Periyar was against adding caste names to people’s names. In 1928, he removed the caste from his name. He spoke in several caste group meetings against having caste names in each person's name," said Stalin.
