  • Ranjani and Gayatri’s withdrew from the Music Academy’s 2024 conference
  • MK Stalin congratulated TM Krishna for being selected for the 'Sangeetha Kalanidhi' award
  • It is regrettable to criticise TM Krishna for his progressive political stances: MK Stalin

The Carnatic Music industry has been engulfed by a controversy following singers Ranjani and Gayatri’s withdrawal from the Music Academy’s 2024 conference after singer T.M Krishna was announced as the recipient of the ‘Sangeetha Kalanidhi” award. 

Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu MK Stalin has now sided with T.M Krishna in this controversy. “My warmest congratulations and appreciation to the great singer TM Krishna for being selected for the 'Sangeetha Kalanidhi' award of The Music Academy. It is regrettable to criticise TM Krishna for his progressive political stances and his constant talking about the common man. It is not fair to unnecessarily lash out at Periyar, who fought for human equality based on humanity and for women to live as equals for three-quarters of a century in a charitable and peaceful way. Anyone who reads Periyar's selfless biography and his thoughts will not attempt to cast such slanderous mud.
