AIADMK MLAs created a ruckus in the House

 

Tamil Nadu Speaker M. Appavu ordered the MLAs who disrupted the proceedings of the Assembly to go out. All these MLAs were demanding the adjournment of the Q&A session in the House. Along with this, they were also raising slogans in the House on the poisonous liquor tragedy. Speaker Appavu said, "Many important issues should be discussed in the assembly. The proposal for the caste census has to be passed. The Chief Minister also wants the opposition to participate in it. Therefore, the CM requested the Speaker not to suspend the AIADMK MLAs. AIADMK gave an adjournment motion under Rule 56. But, they were not ready to listen to me."

 

He further said, "We never stopped the AIADMK MLAs from speaking in the assembly. But they should speak at the scheduled time. It is sad to see this in a democratic assembly. AIADMK leaders were constantly disrupting the proceedings. If this continues, how will the rest of the MLAs speak about their area."
