AIADMK Eviction Sparks Uproar in Tamil Nadu Assembly

In a dramatic turn of events, AIADMK members were forcibly evicted from the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Friday. The main opposition party attempted to bring up the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy, which has reportedly claimed 50 lives, during Question Hour.

Leader of Opposition K Palaniswami condemned the eviction, labeling it a 'murder of democracy.' According to Speaker M Appavu, the members violated House rules by attempting to raise an issue during Question Hour instead of Zero Hour.

Despite repeated warnings, the AIADMK members persisted, leading to their expulsion from the day's proceedings. Palaniswami, along with other opposition MLAs clad in black shirts, expressed their dissent outside the Assembly.
