Accenture Solutions managing director on Tuesday said he "never agreed to speak at or attend" an RSS organised event next month in the city, as the organisers removed his name from the invite which drew flak from a section of twitterati over his participation.
Accenture Solutions Managing Director and Head of Chennai operations, Rama S Ramachandran was slated to be Guest of Honour at the event.
The organisers removed his name from the invite on Tuesday with the RSS Chennai website displaying the latest programme schedule.
The invite, which went viral on Monday, said the event 'Resurgent Bharath', is planned to be held here on February 2 by the IT wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Chennai.
RSS chief, All India Public Outreach, Anirudha Deshpande, is expected to deliver the keynote address that day and Zoho Corporation founder Sridhar Vembu, the chief guest.
In a tweet, Ramachandran said "I am not sure how this misunderstanding happened, but I have no affiliation with this group and never agreed to speak at or attend this event."
