Why would the Central Government want to stop excavation because its from the Sangam Era?

They won't. Like USA, we have our own gaggle of extreme conspiracy theorists who are always paranoid that the Central Government is a dictator that wants to reduce states to powerless puppets.
But what's with the Sangam Era that (some people thinks) the gov is trying to cover?
If I had to guess the conspiracy is that Central government does not want to excavate sites that prove that Sangam culture was greater and earlier than the Northern Indian culture.
I have never heard of this, but knowing the mistrust for the Centre in the Southern states I can believe how it is accepted.
It's simple. Remains from Keezhadi tell that Tamil ancestors had no religion. If it is true, they need to start finding the origin of Sanskrit.
