Tamil Nadu Governor's Pongal Invite Day After Speech Set To Escalate Row

The Governor, in the middle of a standoff with the DMK government over the name of the southern state, has used Tamizhagam in invites for Pongal

A row over Tamizhagam versus Tamil Nadu has intensified with Governor RN Ravi's latest move.

The Governor, in the middle of a standoff with the DMK government and Chief Minister MK Stalin over the name of the southern state, has used Tamizhagam in his invites for Pongal festival in Governor's House Raj Bhavan.

The invite, which is in Tamil, also misses the state government's emblem and features only the emblem of the government of India.

The English version of the invite uses the name Tamil Nadu.
