DMK Reaches Out To Opposition Parties For Dismissal Of TN Governor

Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi is in a running fight with the DMK government of the state in contentious issues including the NEET for Medical Entrance exams.

Chennai: The DMK has written a letter to all the opposition parties to sign a petition addressed to President Draupadi Murmu calling for immediate removal of Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi from the post.

This is due to the battle between him and the state government on a host of issues.

According to ANI, “Leader, DMK Party in Parliament - TR Balu writes to MPs of the party & like-minded political parties, requesting them to visit party HQ to read & sign in a memorandum addressed to President Droupadi Murmu, pertaining to the immediate withdrawal of the Governor of Tamil Nadu."

The Congress has agreed to sign the memorandum for the removal of Tamil Nadu Governor after DMK parliamentary party leader T.R. Baalu sent a letter to all the opposition parties.

Recently, CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury, in a press conference at New Delhi, urged the like-minded opposition parties to come together for a joint protest against the acts of Governors which are mostly "undemocratic and anti-Constitutional".
