Lt. Governor to address Budget session in Tamil
The Hindu
This is an unprecedented and historic moment, she says
Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Tuesday said that it would be a rare privilege to be delivering her customary address on the opening day of the NDA government’s first Budget session on Thursday in Tamil. Addressing reporters after inspecting the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination programme at the Primary Health Centre in Muthialpet, Ms. Soundararajan said though the Tamil language had always echoed in the Assembly, it would be a historic occasion in the annals of the legislature for the Lt. Governor to be addressing the Budget session in Tamil. “I am extremely happy and privileged at this opportunity to present customary address in the Assembly on August 26 in Tamil, especially after taking the oath of office and administering the oath to others in the mother tongue. This is certainly an unprecedented and historic moment in the annals of the Legislative Assembly,” she said.More Related News
