MK Stalin Asks Centre To Recall Tamil Nadu Governor In Row Over Anthem

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Friday urged the Union government to recall Governor RN Ravi after a sentence with the word “Dravida” was omitted from the state song when it was sung at an event attended by the governor.

The state song, titled Tamil Thai Vaazhthu, is sung at the beginning of programmes organised by the Tamil Nadu government.

Earlier in the day, the governor attended an event celebrating “Hindi month” and commemorating the golden jubilee of Doordarshan Chennai, the public broadcaster, PTI reported. A choir from Doordarshan left out the sentence with the word “Dravida” while singing the state song at the event.
