Vande Mataram Vs Tamil Anthem: Vijay's Oath Sparks DMK-TVK Battle | Read

The new government of Tamil Nadu led by Vijay and the Opposition DMK locked horns shortly after the oath ceremony today, over the song played at the programme. With Vande Mataram playing before the national anthem Jana Gana Mana and the Tamil state song 'Thamizhthai Vaazhthu', the DMK has claimed that the state should be respected and state song should have been played first. The Tamil anthem was pushed to the third place. Even Vijay's allies also demanded an explanation, declaring that such a lapse should not happen.
