The move, announced on Thursday, comes amid a broader language debate between the DMK-led state government and the BJP-led central government, particularly over the NEP's three-language policy. Tamil Nadu Finance Minister Thangam Thennarasu will present the state budget on Friday.
A panel of experts has joined Shreya Dhoundial to discuss this in detail. Rupee Symbol Designer, Dr Udaya Kumar, says, “It's state govt's decision, I don't know the reason behind the change. The symbol was designed in connection to Indian culture..” Also, DMK's Yazhini PM says “The intention is for a symbolic protest against bias the Centre is showing toward southern states, especially Tamil Nadu..” Watch the full video to know more and follow Mirror Now for the latest updates.
