Curated summary
Tamil Nadu’s Assembly unanimously passed a resolution making Tamil Thaai Vazhthu the first song at government events, schools, universities, offices and public sector units. Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay led the move with backing from DMK and AIADMK legislators, framing it as a defense of linguistic and cultural rights. The resolution lands after the Union Home Affairs Ministry told states to follow its directive that Vande Mataram be played before the national anthem at official events.
