AIADMK stages walkout from Assembly

The AIADMK staged a walkout of the House over certain remarks made by a Minister, despite Assembly Speaker M. Appavu’s clarification that they were not included in the Assembly records.

During his speech, Congress legislator K. Selvaperunthagai mentioned former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s name, which was strongly objected to by the AIADMK members. The Chair eventually expunged the remarks.

When Mr. Selvaperunthagai pointed out that former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s stand in the past, AIADMK MLA A. Govindasamy (Pappireddipatti) rose to make some remarks, which led to the DMK members strongly reacting to it.
