Political parties in Tamil Nadu, including the DMK and PMK, are demanding a formal law to mandate that the 'Tamil Thai Vazhthu' anthem be sung first at all government functions. They argue that current administrative orders are insufficient to ensure compliance by officials and the Governor.
DMK MLA and former Minister S. Regupathy on Monday (August 10, 2026) demanded a special law to ensure Tamil Thai Vazhthu is mandatorily sung first at the beginning of all government functions, saying it was doubtful whether the resolution adopted by the Assembly would bind the Governor and others.
