DMK members surrounded the Speaker's podium in the legislative assembly today, demanding that remarks made by the Chief Minister be expunged from the official records. During the protest, DMK MLA Vasantham Karthikeyan approached the Speaker's chair.
Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar reacted sharply to the MLA's proximity, sternly warning him to "Don't come here.. Get out" and ordering him to leave the area.
