Stalin backs T.M. Krishna’s selection for Sangita Kalanidhi award 2024

TM Krishna MK Stalin The Music Academy Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday congratulated Carnatic vocalist T.M. Krishna for being selected for the Sangita Kalanidhi award of the Music Academy for 2024.

In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), the Chief Minister said Mr. Krishna is being targeted by a section of people, because of his progressive political stance and continuous support for the poor. “In this, it is unfair to criticise Thanthai Periyar [E.V. Ramasamy], who fought for humanity and equality for women for more than 75 years. Anyone who reads the history and teachings of Periyar and his selfless contribution will never attempt to cast slanderous mud on him,” he said.
