Tamil Nadu Assembly Chaos: Governor RN Ravi Walks Out Over National Anthem Dispute

A significant political controversy unfolded in Tamil Nadu as Governor RN Ravi walked out of the assembly ahead of the Winter Session, citing "brazen disrespect" to the Constitution and the national anthem. The incident occurred after the assembly chose to sing only the Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu, the state anthem, and declined the governor’s request to play the national anthem as per tradition.

The Governor’s office released a statement condemning the incident, emphasizing that playing the national anthem is a constitutional duty and customary practice during state legislature sessions. It accused Chief Minister MK Stalin and Assembly Speaker of refusing the governor's appeal, prompting Ravi to leave the House in "deep anguish."


The walkout has sparked a heated political debate. State Congress chief K Selvaperunthagai criticized the governor, accusing him of being "against the people of Tamil Nadu" for opposing resolutions passed by the assembly. Additionally, AIADMK leaders staged protests at the Secretariat over unrelated issues, including allegations of sexual assault at Anna University.

This incident adds to the ongoing tensions between the Tamil Nadu government and Governor Ravi, reflecting the larger rift between state administrations and governors in several Indian states. The refusal to play the national anthem has raised questions about constitutional obligations versus regional customs, further intensifying the political atmosphere in the state.
