The seminar featured discussions by Kaviyarasu Guru Nagalingam of the Trade Union Association and Ka.Su. Nagarasan of the Dravidian Movement Tamil Forum.



Key issues addressed included the threat to Indian sovereignty, the push for a singular language, government, and leader policy, and the central government's alleged negligence of state autonomy. Pon Kumar, Chairman of the Tamil Nadu Workers' Welfare Board, stressed on the federal principle of unity in diversity, claiming that despite India's vast diversity in caste, religion, and ethnicity, its unity is unparalleled.
