In his remarks, Prasad referred to Sitharaman as a “beloved daughter of Tamil Nadu and a sister to all Tamils”, representing a remarkable fusion of Tamil cultural values with national duties.

He emphasized that her recent Budget addresses have been notable not just for their financial precision but also for their profound cultural significance, particularly her allusions to the Thirukkural and ancient Tamil epics.
