Were you right in walking out before the national anthem was played after the governor’s address in January this year? You left out important leaders’ names too.
Before I addressed the assembly in 2022 for the first time, I was told that they don’t play the national anthem in the assembly. Before I addressed, I insisted that the national anthem must be played. And the national anthem must be played both at the arrival and departure of the governor and the Thamizh Thai Vazhthu [Invocation to Mother Tamil — the state anthem] too.
