A political row has erupted in Tamil Nadu over the order of singing the National Anthem and Tamil Thai Vazhthu at official events. Chief Minister Vijay accused the DMK of hypocrisy, pointing to a 2021 event where the National Anthem was played before the state song during the unveiling of M. Karunanidhi’s portrait by former President Ram Nath Kovind. Vijay questioned why the arrangement was accepted then but is being criticized now. The DMK responded that presidential events follow a specific protocol, unlike government functions. The party also questioned why the state song was placed second during recent events under the Vijay government. The debate has reignited the National Anthem versus Tamil Thai Vazhthu controversy in the state. #timesnow #englishnews #vijay #dmk #tamilnadu #politics #anthem #assembly #stalin #news
