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.
