Tamil Nadu Governor and CM Clash Over National Anthem Dispute
Governor RN Ravi criticizes CM MK Stalin's remarks as 'arrogant' after walking out of the Assembly over the omission of the national anthem.
- Governor RN Ravi left the Tamil Nadu Assembly without delivering his customary address, citing the absence of the national anthem as the reason for his walkout.
- The Tamil Nadu Assembly traditionally plays the state anthem at the beginning and the national anthem at the end, which the Governor opposed, requesting the national anthem be played at both times.
- Chief Minister MK Stalin called the Governor's actions 'childish' and accused him of disrespecting the Assembly's traditions and acting with political motives.
- The Raj Bhavan responded sharply, labeling Stalin's comments as 'arrogant' and accusing him of disrespecting the Constitution and the national anthem.
- The ongoing tensions between the DMK government and Governor Ravi, including disputes over legislation and appointments, have further strained their relationship.
