Chennai: The Tamil Nadu
assembly Friday witnessed a scuffle between loyal and rebel
legislators of the DMDK party, following which Speaker P. Dhanapal
ordered their eviction en masse.
Leader of House and Finance Minister O. Panneerselvam moved a
resolution demanding action against the legislators involved in
the fight.
The speaker said he would refer the matter to the privileges
committee of the house for the necessary action.
Trouble started on the last day of the assembly session with
DMDK's rebel legislator K. Tamil Azhagan claiming that he has
earned good name in his Tittagudi constituency after he met Chief
Minister J. Jayalalithaa for carrying out welfare measures.
Four DMDK members - Azhagan, R. Sundarrajan representing Madurai
Central, S. Michael Rayappan from Radhapuram and C. Arun Pandian
from Peravurani - met Jayalalithaa October last year, and since
then they have been functioning as a separate group supporting the
ruling AIADMK party.
The members loyal to the main opposition party DMDK started
shouting and dashed towards Azhagan after he asked them to follow
in his footsteps to earn people's goodwill.
Rebel DMDK legislator Rayappan tried to prevent the loyalists but
they began hitting him.
Rayappan was rescued by other members of the house and the speaker
ordered eviction of the DMDK members, describing the attack as
shameful.
While the AIADMK has a strength of 150 (excluding the speaker) in
the 235-member house, the DMDK has 29 legislators and the DMK 23.
