'Cash for Vote' MLA sting: DMK, Cong stage walkout from TN Assembly
June 15, 2017
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader MK Stalin raised the issue of
the 'Cash for Vote' MLA sting in the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Thursday for
the second consecutive day.
On Speaker P Dhanapal's refusal to
discuss the topic on the floor of the House, the DMK and the Congress
staged a walkout from the Assembly.
After the walkout, Stalin
addressed the media and said, "Today again I was denied permission to
raise MLA sting issue in the Assembly by the Speaker. In protest, we
staged a walkout."
"We have sought an appointment with the Governor. He is out of town. We will meet him soon as he is back," he added.
Stalin further said that the current All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government should be dissolved.
"They should go for a CBI investigation to prove themselves that if they are clean," he added.
Yesterday,
the Tamil Nadu Assembly saw a huge showdown between the ruling AIADMK
and the DMK over the MLAs sting operation in a session, which was
earlier being expected to be crucial for paving the way for the rollout
of the Goods and Services Tax Bill on July 1.
