Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) has reluctantly agreed to the choice of former BJP leader Yashwant Sinha as the Opposition candidate for the Presidential election, despite insisting on a candidate from the Christian background due to the consensus among other opposition parties.
VCK leader and MP D. Ravikumar said the candidate for the choice of President of India election should have been a Christian as the community had suffered due to Hindutva elements across the country. “While the Muslim community has faced hardships, the Christians too have faced similar situations but it is less spoken about,” he said.
