The tamil Nadu government has been ordered by the chennai High court to print portraits of political party leaders on products such as school children's book bags, as well as to guarantee that government monies are not misappropriated and that this practice does not continue. Following the change of government in tamil Nadu, Oviyam Rajan, the leader of the 'Namathu Dravida Movement,' has filed a public interest lawsuit alleging that notebooks and school bags inscribed with pictures of jayalalithaa and Edappadi Palanisamy, former chief ministers of the tamil Nadu Textbook Institute, were issued.According to the petition, the sticker can be placed to images of former principals in current notebooks and stationery, and taxpayer money should not be squandered by not delivering the existing notes and bags and instead ordering them to be handed to pupils in the future.
He also advocated for a ban on the printing of political party leaders' photos on bags.
The Attorney General, arguing for the tamil Nadu government before Chief Justice Sanjeeb Banerjee today, said 64 lakh school bags printed with images of the former head government and 10 lakh stationery would not be destroyed and would be provided to children. The chief minister did not want the photograph to be printed in school textbooks, according to the minister. It should be noted that
chief minister MK
stalin already informed the current DMK
government not to erase old

school bags and replace it with his photo as that would definitely cost around 14 lakhs and he asked to use that for a better purpose and this was revealed by Anbil Magesh himself.
