The Governor had sent a communication with regard to the recital of the national anthem on February 12, 2024, and the issue was resolved already, the Speaker said. I am bringing to the notice of the members that the Tamil Thai Vaazhthu would be sung before the Governor’s speech and the national anthem would be sung after the speech.” After the Speaker completed his speech, members of the House sang the national anthem.
