Rejected tableau to be showcased across T.N., says CM Stalin

‘We fought British before 1857 uprising’
A day after an expert committee rejected Tamil Nadu’s tableau for the Republic Day Parade in New Delhi, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Tuesday announced that it would be showcased at the Republic Day celebrations organised by the State government in Chennai and taken to the key places in the State. A photo exhibition titled, ‘Tamil Nadu in Freedom Struggle’, which was held earlier in Chennai, would be organised in major cities across the country.
Pointing out that Tamil Nadu’s contribution to the freedom struggle predated the 1857 uprising, Mr. Stalin said its role was “no less important than that of other States”. His decision came a few hours after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh wrote to him, maintaining that the tableaux were selected in line with the guidelines. An unconvinced Chief Minister expressed shock and regret that no reason was cited in Mr. Singh’s letter.
