Stalin, other DMK MLAs arrested after eviction from T.N. Assembly

Waving currency notes and white papers with the slogan “MLAs for Sale”, the DMK MLAs in the Tamil Nadu Assembly demanded a debate on the alleged payment of money to AIADMK MLAs to win trust vote on February 18, 2017.

But Assembly Speaker P. Dhanapal refused to grant permission, saying that the matter was before the Madras High Court and the MLA who was caught in the camera also had denied any involvement. He also



evicted the DMK MLAs after 45 minutes of pandemonium and they staged a demonstration outside the House.

Congress MLAs and the lone IUML member who also staged a walkout joined them. They were arrested by the police.

The issue was raised immediately after the question hour by Leader of the Opposition M.K. Stalin, who thumped on the desk and demanded the resignation of the AIADMK government.
