Tamil Nadu says it will keep Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu first at official events

Times of India reported that Tamil Nadu would continue its practice of rendering Tamil Thaai Vaazhthu first at official events despite a Union Home Ministry communication on Vande Mataram and the national anthem protocol. TVK Tracker records this as a Tamil-identity and Centre-State protocol item, not as a service-delivery promise. It is relevant because language, cultural recognition, and federal autonomy are recurring themes in TVK's ideology and public statements.
