During the Chief Minister’s Speech on the issue, the leader of the DMK legislative Party Mr..M.K Stalin, sought an opportunity to explain. But as the opportunity was denied, the DMK members continued to raise objections and tried to protest before the Speaker's Chair.

The Speaker Mr.P.Dhanapal then issued several warnings but since they did not heed to him, he ordered the members to be evicted from the Assembly.
