Chennai, July 21 (Inditop.com) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi Tuesday withdrew a privilege motion moved against two communist legislators who had allegedly made derogatory remarks against the state assembly speaker.
The motion was moved against Sivapunniam of the Communist Party of India (CPI) and K. Balabharathi of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M).
The chief minister said the charges are of general nature and that such motions were brought by the previous AIADMK government against a DMK member and newspapers.
This brought the AIADMK members to their feet who walked out protesting the chief minister’s remark.
The motion was moved by Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister Arcot N. Veeraswami Monday after the two members allegedly made derogatory remarks against Speaker R. Avudaiappan to reporters July 17 about his style of conducting the assembly proceedings.
