TVK, DMK criticise Guv paying tribute to Thiruvalluvar image in saffron attire

Tamil Nadu Governor Arlekar's tribute to a saffron-robed Thiruvalluvar portrait at Lok Bhavan drew condemnation from ruling TVK and opposition DMK. Both parties argue the depiction violates the poet's officially recognized white-clad image and his non-sectarian philosophy enshrined in the Tirukkural.
