In Tamil Nadu, Governor R.N. Ravi, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, Opposition Leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami, and others took to social media and made official statements to greet the people on this occasion.

The Governor's office in a post on X said the mothers are the silent architects of strength, compassion and character. "On the occasion of Mother’s Day, we express our deepest gratitude to all mothers, the silent architects of strength, compassion and character, who shape individual, home and society. Through their divine love, strength and selflessness, mothers pass down values that define generations, guiding us through life’s turning points. Their quiet presence leaves a deep and lasting impression, shaping character and nurturing the moral foundation of our society."

Chief Minister M.K. Stalin posted on X, “A mother’s love is the purest form of selflessness. On this Mother’s Day, I salute all mothers whose tireless efforts form the backbone of our homes and our state. Let us ensure that policies and practices are in place to protect and empower them.”

BJP Tamil Nadu former chief K. Annamalai also issued a statement saying, “On this Mother’s Day, let us remember the strength and resilience of mothers who silently mould the future of our country. Let us commit ourselves to respecting and supporting them every single day.”

Mother’s Day has become one of the many observances that political leaders use to reach out to the people.

As one leader pointed out, “In a state like Tamil Nadu, all 365 days of the year seem to carry some significance. Among them, Mother’s Day holds a special emotional value.”

Across the state, various programmes were also held to honour mothers, especially in schools and community centres, reflecting the widespread importance given to the day.

Beautiful messages from all leaders! In Tamil culture, we've always revered mothers as "Thai" (mother) and "Thai Tamil" (mother Tamil). Nice to see this tradition continuing through modern celebrations. My amma is my everything ❤️

While I appreciate the sentiments, I wish politicians would do more than just post on social media. Many working mothers in TN still face workplace discrimination. Action speaks louder than tweets!

My heart swells with pride seeing our leaders unite for this occasion. In Tamil households, we don't need a special day to honor mothers - every day is Amma's day! But it's nice to have this global recognition 🌸

Good to see Governor and CM on the same page for once! Motherhood transcends politics. My only request - please improve maternity healthcare facilities in rural TN. That would be the real tribute to mothers.

As a single mother in Chennai, I appreciate the recognition. But what we need more are safe public spaces, better childcare options at workplaces, and society's acceptance of different family structures.

Remembering Bharat Mata along with our own mothers today. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 While we celebrate, let's not forget the mothers of our soldiers guarding borders - their sacrifice is beyond measure.
