Convocation Ro: Scholar Snobs Tamil Nadu Governor; Annamalai hit DMK for ‘low-grade politics’
New Delhi: BJP leader K Annamalai on Wednesday criticized the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazgam (DMK) of Tamil Nadu after a student, who is allegedly the wife of a DMK leader M Rajan, who is also the wife of M. Rajan, refused to obtain his degree from the state governor during a convocation.Annamalai said in a post on X, “For age, the plays staged to gain fame within the party have been staged by DMK members, especially to use educational institutions for such purposes,” Annamalai said in a post on X.He said: “The Chief Minister should advise the members of his party not to bring the low-grain politics of DMK to educational institutions. There are more people in Tamil Nadu who dislike the DMK than those who support it. If they behave in the same way, where will the Chief Minister hide his face?”The incident occurred during the 32nd convocation of the University of Manonmanium Sundranar (MSU), where students were rolled to obtain their degrees from Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi. A student, Jean Joseph, chose the governor to bypass and instead accepted his degree from Vice Chancellor Chandrashekar, who was standing next to him.Talking to reporters after the ceremony, Jean Joseph said: “Governor RN Ravi is working against the interests of Tamil Nadu and Tamils. I did not want to receive their degrees from them, as quoted by news agency IANS.
