Sun Jan 12 09:51:30 UTC 2025: ## Tamil Nadu Governor Slams Chief Minister’s Remarks on National Anthem

**Chennai, January 12, 2025** – The Raj Bhavan issued a strongly worded statement Sunday criticizing Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s comments regarding the national anthem and constitutional duties. The statement followed Stalin’s remarks in the state assembly, which the Governor’s office deemed “arrogant” and disrespectful to the nation and its constitution.

The Raj Bhavan’s social media post accused Stalin of calling the emphasis on respecting the national anthem and fulfilling fundamental duties “absurd” and “childish.” The statement retorted that such a stance demonstrates a lack of respect for India and its constitution, adding that “Bharat is the supreme Mother and the Constitution the supreme faith for her children.”

This latest exchange follows an earlier incident where Governor R.N. Ravi walked out of the Assembly without reading his customary address. The escalating tension between the Governor and the Chief Minister continues to dominate Tamil Nadu’s political landscape.
