In a dramatic turn of events, Leader of Opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami and AIADMK members were evicted enmasse from the Tamil Nadu Assembly following a sit-in protest over the Kallakurichi hooch tragedy, which has claimed 47 lives.
Chief Minister M K Stalin condemned the AIADMK's actions as theatrics designed to create confusion and urged the opposition not to exploit the tragedy for political gain. Despite Speaker M Appavu's attempts to restore order, the AIADMK legislators persisted, culminating in their eviction.
While the Speaker later reversed the eviction order following CM Stalin's appeal, the opposition members did not immediately return. Stalin highlighted past negligence by the AIADMK during a similar incident in 2001 and assured stern action against the current tragedy's perpetrators.
