A heated face‑off between DMK and TVK members erupted in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, leading marshals to remove several legislators from the chamber.
During a session of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly, members of the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the opposition TVK engaged in a sharp confrontation that disrupted proceedings. The dispute quickly escalated, prompting assembly marshals to step in and physically escort a number of legislators out of the chamber.
The intervention by marshals restored order but highlighted growing tensions between the two parties within the state legislature. Observers noted that such confrontations are rare in the assembly, which traditionally follows strict procedural decorum.
The incident has sparked calls from political analysts for stricter enforcement of assembly rules to prevent future disruptions and ensure that legislative business proceeds without interruption.
