Published: Mar 14 2025, 5 pmeznews.inThe Tamil Nadu government's recent decision to replace the Indian rupee symbol with a new logo, the Tamil alphabet 'Ru', has sparked significant political controversy amid ongoing language tensions. Chief Minister MK Stalin unveiled the logo during the Budget 2025-26 presentation, attracting sharp criticism from the Opposition, particularly the Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which deemed the move "condemnable and laughable."
