Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay says he apologises on a minister’s behalf after the minister refers to former chief minister M. Karunanidhi in the Assembly without using the honorifics. The remarks prompt a response from the state leadership, with Vijay framing the incident as a mistake that he addresses publicly.
The reports describe the same core episode but emphasize different aspects of the reaction. NDTV and India Today both focus on Vijay’s direct statement that he apologises for the omission. Times of India reports on Vijay’s apology following the minister’s Karunanidhi reference, though its provided excerpt contains less detail. Across outlets, the emphasis remains on the missing title rather than on any broader dispute, with the apology presented as a corrective step.
