FIR against MK Stalin, DMK MLAs for protesting inside Tamil Nadu Assembly

DMK MLAs had protested inside the secretariat on August 18 and 19. A day earlier, on August 17, the Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker expelled DMK MLAs for a week from entering the assembly for continuous disruption of proceedings.

Leader of the House and state’s Finance Minister O. Paneerselvam moved a resolution seeking suspension of all DMK MLAs present in the House for a week, which was adopted by the House.

The disruption triggered after AIADMK MLA Gunasekaran passed a remark on Stalin’s Nammaku Naame (We, Ourselves) roadshow.

Marshals physically carried Stalin out of the assembly building where an army of reporters surrounded the entrance to question the opposition leader.

“Today’s action by the speaker and the ruling party members is yet another example of the attitude the AIADMK (towards opposition),” Stalin had then told the media.
