#HBDKalaingar98 Gentle reminder that your state can hoist Indian flag ONLY because of Karunanidhi. Until 1974, CMs not allowed to hoist Indian flag. He fought for the right. 15 Aug 1974, first CM ever to hoist Indian flag (Fort St George.) Also proposed state flag, Delhi refused. 
The parties of the RW “nationalists” who unleash violence on people for not saying #BMKJ and #VandeMataram did NOT demand for states rights to hoist the flag of their country! Kalaignar fought Indira Gandhi to secure a basic right!
In 1970, when Mu Ka proposed the TN flag, combo of national + state emblems, PM Indira, consulted state CMs to decide. In a land where adivasis, caste units, even voluntary orgs like RSS have flags, guess who vehemently opposed it? Veerendra Patil and AB Vajpayee!
