Now, Governor Ravi faults CM Stalin for event at museum to honour Gandhiji

Chennai, PTI: Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi on Thursday hit out at Chief Minister M K Stalin for conducting events ‘in a corner of a city museum,’ to honour Mahatma Gandhi’s memory and alleged that the Father of the Nation was opposed and mocked during his life time by the followers of Dravidian ideology. Governor Ravi and Chief Minister Stalin paid floral tributes here to Gandhi on his 77th death anniversary on the premises of Gandhi Mandapam and Government Museum respectively.

At the state secretariat, Stalin also administered a pledge against untouchability to mark Martyrs’ Day, and state ministers, top officials and elected representatives took part in the event. In a post on ‘X,’ Ravi said: “Gandhi Mandapam is a grand memorial of the Father of the Nation built over a sprawling land adjacent to the Guindy National Park, Chennai by K Kamaraj in 1956. Does it make any sense to do Gandhi memorial events his birthday and martyrdom day in a corner of a city museum?”.
