AIADMK Walks Out of Tamil Nadu Assembly Over Deferred Issue
Opposition AIADMK members staged a walkout from the Tamil Nadu Assembly after Speaker J C D Prabhakar deferred their issue to the next day, citing a heavy legislative schedule. AIADMK leader Edappadi K Palaniswami criticized the ruling TVK government for its handling of a recent incident where a fisherman was reportedly shot by Iranian pirates in Saudi Arabia. Palaniswami accused the government of inaction despite repeated opposition requests and demanded prompt measures to repatriate the deceased's body.
