Evicted DMK MLAs stage protest outside Tamil Nadu assembly

Chennai, Aug 18: A day after 80 DMK legislators were suspended from the Tamil Nadu assembly by the speaker P Dhanapal, these MLAs are staging a sit-in protest outside the assembly after an argument with the security personnel who did not allow them to enter.

According to a report by the TOI, DMK MLA and former school education minister Thangam Thennarasu said, "Gate No 4 to the assembly was locked by the guards. We have only been suspended, but we are MLAs. We don't know why they are not letting us inside."
