Chief Minister M.K. Stalin called upon students to develop their public speaking abilities.
He was speaking in an event organised by the State Minorities Commission in Guru Nanak College to distribute prizes for students who participated in various competitions. Recalling his speech at a political party meeting in 1971, Mr. Stalin said he could recall the grand reception he had for his speech.
Usually students, who were associated with Dravidian, nationalist and Communist movements, would take part in such competitions and win prizes. “These are the student leaders, who eventually become leaders of political movements in the later years,” he said.
