M K Stalin govt to complain about Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi to President Droupadi Murmu today

CHENNAI: The face-off between the Tamil Nadu government and governor R N Ravi is set to reach New Delhi. Law minister S Regupathy is scheduled to meet President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday and hand over a letter of chief minister M K Stalin, complaining about the governor's conduct in the assembly on January 9. Regupathy will be accompanied by DMK parliamentary leader T R Baalu and MPs A Raja, P Wilson and N R Elango.
The meeting at Rashtrapati Bhavan is scheduled at 11.45am on Thursday.

"The sealed letter of the chief minister will be handed over to the President by the law minister. It is purely an issue between the government of Tamil Nadu and the governor," Baalu told TOI. The DMK government has decided to act tough against Ravi ever since he digressed from the printed text of his customary address to the assembly, which was prepared by the government and for which he is said to have given consent before it was printed.
It remains unclear on what action Stalin has sought against the governor. In November, the MPs belonging to the DMK and its allies submitted a memorandum to the President seeking recall of Ravi, making a series of allegations against him. They accused Ravi of violating the oath taken by him to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and the law and to devote himself to the service and well-being of the people of Tamil Nadu.
Ravi had been instigating communal hatred and a threat to the peace and tranquillity of the state, the party MPs alleged.
Baalu said the most unpleasant things happened in the assembly on Monday and the governor should not have conducted himself in such a manner. "It was unprecedented. He has not behaved in a dignified manner. The majesty and dignity of the national anthem was belittled by the governor. It is an elected body and the members are representatives of the people of Tamil Nadu. He should not have changed a single syllable in the text," the DMK treasurer said, pointing to the consent given by the governor to the address. The CM had conducted himself in the most dignified manner all along, even as the governor acted differently (against the government), Baalu said.
