In a dramatic sequence of events on Friday, AIADMK members were evicted en masse from the Tamil Nadu Assembly after attempting to raise a contentious issue during the Question Hour. The situation escalated when Leader of the Opposition K Palaniswami described the eviction as a 'murder of democracy.'

Speaker M Appavu justified the eviction, stating that raising issues during the Question Hour was against House rules. Members were reminded that they could only raise matters during the Zero Hour, following the conclusion of the Question Hour.

Following Chief Minister M K Stalin's appeal, the Speaker reversed his decision, allowing the evicted AIADMK members to rejoin the proceedings. The incident highlighted the tension between the ruling party and the opposition.
