The New Indian Express|January 07, 2025
GOVERNOR RN Ravi, who has been at loggerheads with the DMK government ever since he assumed office in 2021, clashed with the government on Monday over the old issue of non-recital of national anthem at the beginning of his customary address of the Assembly.
Reminders to recite anthem sent well in advance, but ignored, says Raj Bhavan

A statement from the Raj Bhavan, after the governor walked out, charged that the Constitution and the national anthem were once again insulted in the Assembly.

"The national anthem is sung or played at the beginning and the conclusion of the governor's address in every state Assembly in the country," the statement said. Pointing out that it is mandatory as per the "National anthem code," it said even after "repeated reminders" conveyed "well in advance", the requests were ignored.
