Chennai: Insult caused to the Constitution of Bharat and National Anthem promoted Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi to boycott his customary New Year Address to the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Monday.

The Governor arrived at the House to a traditional welcome by Speaker M Appavu, but left
within three minutes after recital of Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu without delivering his address
prepared by the DMK government, with whom he was at loggerheads on a host of issues.

Later, in a post on X, Raj Bhavan Tamil Nadu said “The Constitution of Bharat and the
National Anthem were once again insulted in the Tamil Nadu Assembly today.”

” Respecting the National Anthem is among the first Fundamental Duty as enshrined
in our Constitution. It is sung in all the state legislatures at the beginning and the end
of the Governor’s address”, it said.

“Today on arrival of Governor to the House only Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu was sung”, it said.
