Condemning Governor RN Ravi’s act of forcing students to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ at an aided college event in Madurai on Saturday, the State Platform for Common School System—Tamil Nadu (SPCSS-TN), a collective comprising educationalists, has urged his removal from office. They have shot off a letter to the President with their demand.
Educationalists claimed that the Governor violated his oath of office and pointed out that he was invited as the chief guest at an event in the college in his position as the Governor of the State and not as a preacher of a particular region.
While addressing the students and audience at the event, the Governor went on to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and forced the students to repeat the same three times; the association flagged.
