'Include Dalit Christians, fishermen in SC/ST'
DMK chief M Karunanidhi today requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to include the fishermen community and Dalit Christians in the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. "When SC/STs convert themselves to Christianity, they are deprived of all the privileges and concessions," he reasoned. Further, the fishermen community is like the Scheduled Tribes by "their very geographical nature", he added.
