PMK founder-leader, Dr. S. Ramadoss on Thursday urged the Central and Tamil Nadu government to take steps for an anti-superstition law.
The PMK leader said that in addition to creating awareness among the public against superstitions, there should be strong actions should be taken through legislation to curb such practices and superstitious beliefs.
He said that the anti-superstition law is in place in Maharashtra and Karnataka and urged the Central and Tamil Nadu government to enact it in the state. Dr Ramadoss said that both Kerala and Tamil Nadu are highly literate states and even then such a law was not in place. The PMK founder leader also cited the example of a human sacrifice in the state's Thanjavur last year.
