TN trust vote: AIADMK MLAs brought in like prisoners, alleges Stalin

DMK executive leader Stalin has alleged that the AIADMK MLAs were brought in like prisoners by the police

There is high drama in the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly where a crucial trust vote is on. The DMK came out in support of the O Panneerselvam camp and even raised slogans in his favour. DMK executive leader Stalin alleged that the AIADMK MLAs backing Chief Minister E Palanisamy were escorted into the assembly by police.

"What kind of message is this sending out?" Stalin asked. He said on the floor that the MLAs were brought in like prisoners.

Meanwhile, the AIADMK MLAs backing EPS too shouted slogans against the DMK. Semmalai, an AIADMK MLA also sought protection for the MLAs. The opposition and the OPS group demanded that the trust vote be held through a secret ballot.

Meanwhile Stalin also demanded that the OPS camp be allowed to speak. The demand for a secret ballot was however rejected. The speaker of the House, Dhanpal assured the house that all the MLAs would be given protection.
