Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker J.C.D. Prabhakar withdrew disqualification proceedings against 21 AIADMK MLAs who voted in favor of Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay during the May 13 trust vote, following letters from AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami condoning their actions. This move reflects internal party dissent, as at least 25 rebel MLAs supported Vijay, boosting his party's majority. Proceedings continue against four MLAs who resigned and later joined Vijay's party, indicating an ongoing split within AIADMK.
